Ajax is "asynchronous JavaScript and XML". That is a broad concept. As I understand there are other different systems that do asynchronous JavaScript and XML but not Ajax? And so, as I understand, Ajax only is everything around handling XMLHttpRequest object (or a newer version "fetch API")?

                    I looked at those questions and got some picture. Still a question is just about Ajax. I'm studying and want to know practical basics. So as I understand Ajax must be with XMLHttpRequest (or fetch), is that correct? and can be no other implication of ajax w/o it, or? – Nikzin Oct 27 '17 at 09:21

                    yes, you can imagine XMLHttpRequest is the basis, which we build on top of it to create Ajax etc. – PSo Oct 27 '17 at 09:34
