+<p><span class="seoSummary">Use <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> (XHR) objects to interact with servers. You can retrieve data from a URL without having to do a full page refresh. This enables a Web page to update just part of a page without disrupting what the user is doing.</span> <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> is used heavily in <a href="/en-US/docs/AJAX">Ajax</a> programming.</p>
+
+<p>{{InheritanceDiagram(650, 150)}}</p>
+
+<p>Despite its name, <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> can be used to retrieve any type of data, not just XML, and it supports protocols other than <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP">HTTP</a> (including <code>file</code> and <code>ftp</code>).</p>
+
+<p>If your communication needs to involve receiving event data or message data from a server, consider using <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events">server-sent events</a> through the {{domxref("EventSource")}} interface. For full-duplex communication, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API">WebSockets</a> may be a better choice.</p>

+
+<p><code>onreadystatechange</code> as a property of the <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> instance is supported in all browsers.</p>
+
+<p>Since then, a number of additional event handlers have been implemented in various browsers (<code>onload</code>, <code>onerror</code>, <code>onprogress</code>, etc.). See <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest">Using XMLHttpRequest</a>.</p>
+
+<p>More recent browsers, including Firefox, also support listening to the <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> events via standard <code><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener">addEventListener()</a></code> APIs in addition to setting <code>on*</code> properties to a handler function.</p>

+ <dt>{{domxref("XMLHttpRequest.getResponseHeader()")}}</dt>
