Where to use $.ajax

Question

I am learning to implement Ajax using Jquery in ASP.NET MVC5 and have found following important functions:-

a. $.get

b. $.post

c. $(selector).load

d. $.ajax

As per my learning so far I am able to understand the scenarios where we should be using $.get, $.post and $(selector).load, but I am not able to understand where i should use $.ajax

Can any one please explain where I should use $.ajax? As I am not able understand the scenario where I should use $.ajax?

Regards

Mandeep

Pretty sure $.ajax is just the generic ajax function for jquery, whereas $.post and $.get imply their respective ajax types — Nick Zuber, Feb 14 '16 at 04:55
`$.get()` is just a shorthand method ([refer documentation](https://api.jquery.com/jquery.get/)) - ditto for `$.post()` and `.load()` (and there are more such as `$.getJSON()`) — , Feb 14 '16 at 04:58

$.get(...) = $.ajax({method: "GET",...});
$.post(...) = $.ajax({method: "POST",...});

$.ajax() Performs an async AJAX request is the most configurable one, where you get fine grained control over HTTP headers and such.

More you see the @Alexander Sagen answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/3870130/5566169
