In this application, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is used to dynamically load data from an XML file without needing to reload the entire page. When the user clicks the "Get CD collection" button, a JavaScript function `loadDoc()` is called. This function creates an instance of `XMLHttpRequest`, which is used to make an asynchronous request to the server.
The `XMLHttpRequest` object sends a 'GET' request to fetch the 'cd_catalog.xml' file. Once the file is successfully retrieved, the `onload` event handler calls the `myFunction()` function, passing the response XML data. This function parses the XML data and constructs an HTML table dynamically with the content. Each CD entry from the XML file is formatted into table rows, displaying the artist and title. This results in a seamless update of the web page with the CD data, enhancing user experience by avoiding page refreshes.
