Difference between ajax and JavaScript?

Question

Ajax is made to do stuff without reloading the page correct? Isn't that kind of what JavaScript does. For example a javascript button event doesn't reload the page. Neither does ajax. So what is the difference and should i prefer one over the other.

Answer 1

Yes, JS does that. The difference is that AJAX was designed to make calls to the server and obtain information without needing to reload the page.
