Ajax
Ajax is a programming paradigm, widely used in web design and development.
Ajax is a number of things, the most important being the fact that JavaScript can:
- Send requests from a browser
- Receive responses from the server
- Update the browser's Document Object Model -- in other words, what the user sees (or hears) in the browser.
Ajax happens without the user browsing from page to page, handled automatically by JavaScript.
JSON
JSON is a file format for text data, widely used in web applications.
JSON is an alternative to XML.
JSON file
A JSON file is a text file containing JSON data (and nothing else).
JSON files have the .json file extension.
JSON data is commonly delivered via web service, and not as a text file.
Document Object Model
In a web browser, the Document Object Model (DOM) represents the HTML, CSS, and other parts of a web page.
