What are the differences between REST and AJAX?

Answer»

REST	AJAX
REST- REPRESENTATIONAL State Transfer	AJAX - Asynchronous javascript and XML
REST has a URI for accessing RESOURCES by means of a request-response pattern.	AJAX uses XMLHttpRequest object to send REQUESTS to the server and the response is interpreted by the Javascript code dynamically.
REST is an architectural pattern for DEVELOPING client-server communication systems.	AJAX is used for dynamic updation of UI without the need to reload the page.
REST requires the interaction between client and server.	AJAX supports asynchronous requests thereby ELIMINATING the necessity of constant client-server interaction.
