Is it possible to create a messaging app without ajax??

Question

I mean loading messages without continuously without page reload.

Answer 1

You can do it with polling too (using cookie for "identify" the client) but its very "old" style, very inefficient today and give many problems to mnage. Websockets are a good way to handle the problem then, me too suggest use them. Personally i developed 2 systems for messaging and notifications for my company (first in nodejs/web and other in fully java) and either works very well

Answer 2

Yes you can. You must use preventDefault(). Some elements like the form element automatically refresh the page on submit.
Ajax is not a programming language. It is Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (more a technique). A WebSocket is a persistent connection between a client and server. So if you want to create a messaging app like Whatsapp you will need to use a Websocket to listen for messages and some asynchronous javaScripting. The easiest way is to use something like firebase firestore that has real time data updating and listening capabilities built in.

Answer 3

ajax is really an bad idea if you want to make chat app with it cuz its only single directional and works on http...
