What is the Difference between AJAX and Javascript?

Answer Posted / prashant renge

Ajax :
Ajax is the acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
It incorporates a suite of technologies aimed at improving
user experience with web pages. It also allows programs
written in different programming languages on different
browsers to communicate with each other. Translation,
communication and function between web applications happens
remotely and, ideally, instantaneously. Another primary aim
of Ajax is to reduce user delay when interacting with web
pages. Ajax frameworks and technological components allow
web applications to function on an as-need basis without
requiring the re-loading of the entire web page.

JavaScript :
It is client side language, usually for menus, validations
& other animations. It can't send remote request to server.
