What’s HTTP?

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It’s the network protocol used to deliver virtually all files and other data (collectively called resources) on the World Wide Web, whether they’re HTML files, image files, query results, or anything else.

HTTP allows communication between a wide variety of hosts and clients, and supports a mixture of network configurations. To make this possible, it assumes very little about a particular system and keeps no state between message exchanges; this is why HTTP is called a stateless protocol. Communication usually takes place over TCP/IP sockets, though any reliable transport can be used. The standard (and default) port is 80, but a server can listen on any port.

How does Ajax Work

Ajax, a term coined by Jesse James Garrett that became popular after the publication of the article Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications in February 2005, is short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.

The normal behavior of the Internet that involves sending pages to the browser is completely changed by the use of Ajax.

Ajax has become commonplace with its integration in HTML 5 and JavaScript frameworks, and in fact, the interest of developers has moved to HTML 5 for its new tags and APIs that accompany it. Among these, WebSocket appears as the successor to Ajax, because it is a superior means of communication between an application and the server or the backend.
