AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is used to request and update data in the background without reloading the web page.

AJAX Overview:

Purpose: Allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging data with a web server behind the scenes.

Benefits: Provides a smoother user experience by avoiding full page reloads.

Example:

Using XMLHttpRequest:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.open("GET", "data.json", true);

xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {

var data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);

console.log(data);

}

};

xhr.send();

To call the sayHello method in the given JavaScript object, you need to use the object's name followed by the method name with parentheses.

Correct Method Call:

Given the object definition:

var obj = {

sayHello: function() {

alert("Hello");

}

};

To call the method sayHello on the object obj:

obj.sayHello();

Explanation:

Option A: Obj.sayHello; is incorrect syntax. The correct syntax is obj.sayHello();.

Option B: Window.sayHello(); is incorrect because the method is defined in the obj object, not the window object.
