Is Ajax just another name for XMLHttpRequest?

Q

Is Ajax just another name for XMLHttpRequest?

A

XMLHttpRequest is the technical component that makes the asynchronous server communication possible; Ajax is our name for the overall approach described in the article, which relies not only on XMLHttpRequest, but on CSS, DOM, and other technologies.
