asp.net mvc - Is a HTTP GET the same thing as an AJAX call? -

this wondering, not definitive answer elsewhere.

is http request asynchronous? if they're different, there major differences?

not looking opinions, definitive answers. googling has repeatedly led me examples of 1 or other.

http common protocol used transfer data on web. it's browser users on port 80 websites. pages, ajax, etc.

get particular "verb" used in http request. request distinct in doesn't have request body , doesn't expect modify on server, "get" data.

ajax requests http requests made javascript code, rather navigation in browser. may requests, or may other kinds of http requests. structurally they're no different other http request made browser, they're made code instead of browser's ui.

there overlap between these 3 terms, because they're not mutually exclusive versions of same thing. they're apples , oranges, really. http isn't different other two, different ftp. isn't different other two, different post.

you can see lot of in action taking @ browser's debugging tools. visiting reasonably active page (such stack overflow, example) show number of requests being made , server's responses requests. interact page uses ajax, watch requests in debugging tools , see how they're structured. load page or 2 navigation , see how requests structured.

there's not it, really. it's requests , responses, each of headers , content.
