What’s the difference between $.get() and $.ajax

The code I’ve been given uses calls like this:

$.get(href)
   .success(function (content) {
        $('#content')

and:

$.ajax({
    cache: false,
    url: href + params.param,
    dataType: 'html'
})

Can someone explain what the difference is between these. Is there any advantage to using one over the other?

Can someone explain what the difference is between these.

See the documentation for get:

This is a shorthand Ajax function, which is equivalent to:

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});
