    XMLHttpRequest is a JavaScript API that allows sending HTTP requests directly to a server and loading the response into a script without reloading the page. It receives data from the server that can alter the DOM or be evaluated by scripts, and plays an important role in Ajax techniques used by many modern websites to build dynamic applications. The onreadystatechange property stores a callback function to monitor request status changes, while readyState indicates the status from uninitialized to complete.

    XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API (Application programming interface) available in web browser scripting languages such as JavaScript.

    It is used to send HTTP or HTTPS requests directly to a web server and load the server response data directly back into the script. The data might be received from the server as XML text or as plain text. Data from the response can be used directly to alter the DOM of the currently active document in the browser window without loading a new web page document. The response data can also be evaluated by client-side scripting. For example, if it was formatted as JSON by the web server, it can easily be converted into a client-side data object for further use.
    XMLHttpRequest has an important role in the Ajax web development technique. It is currently used by many websites to implement responsive and dynamic web applications. Examples of these web applications include Gmail, Google Maps, Facebook and many others.
