Question

what is different between ajax and webservices. Anybody provide with some examples?

Answer 1

The term “Ajax” is generally used :

• When the request is sent by a browser (client-side) to a server
• When the transfered data is XML or JSON or HTML.

The word “webservice” is generally used :

• When the request is sent by a server to another server, without a browser being involved
• When the transfered data is SOAP — at least when it’s a SOAP webservice ^^ (Opposed to REST, for instance, which generally doesn’t imply SOAP)

But I’d say that Ajax is basically some specific kind of webservice.
