Handling AJAX responses is a crucial part of working with AJAX requests. Once the server sends back a response to our request, we need to process and handle that response in our JavaScript code.

When we make an AJAX request, we typically expect the server to return some data. This data can be in various formats like JSON, XML, or plain text.

To handle the response from an AJAX request, we need to define a callback function. This function will be executed once the response is received. The response will be passed as an argument to the callback function.

In the example below, we'll make an AJAX GET request to retrieve data from a fictional API:

1// Handling AJAX Responses
2
3generateAJAXRequest('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data', handleResponse);
4
5function handleResponse(response) {
6  // Handle the response here
7  console.log(response);
8}

code logic for handling AJAX response

​

// Replace 'url' with the actual URL endpoint you want to make a request to

generateAJAXRequest('GET', 'url', handleResponse);

​

function handleResponse(response) {

  // Handle the response here

  console.log(response);

}
