Funny thing about AJAX is that this acronym means nothing. Asynchronous JavaScript? Well, JavaScript was always asynchronous. And XML? What does it have with XML?

XMLHttpRequest originally was intended for posting and getting XML which was automatically parsed and exposed on the response object.

Now of course we are using more JSON and XMLHttpRequest is being replaced by Fetch API.

AJAX means Asynchronous Javascript and XML.
