the person I replied to said "we dont need any of this fancy hotloading" and then gave examples of fancy hotloading, hence me asking, and pointing out the contradiction. Like you said, AJAX isnt limited to XML, and is really just referring to any use of XMLHttpRequest to hotload data whether its XML, JSON etc. I wasnt asking what ajax was. I was asking if it falls into the definition of "fancy." I think my parent proved the opposite point they meant to. old reddit and hn and wp ARE the fancy html over wire sites, and airbnb and reddit are NOT the fancy over wire sites.
