jQuery AJAX vs Fetch API: Which Should I Use?

What's the difference between jQuery AJAX and the Fetch API?

jQuery AJAX is a library method for making HTTP requests, while Fetch is a modern JavaScript API that returns Promises.

Which one is better for handling asynchronous requests?

Fetch is generally preferred for its simplicity and native support in modern browsers, but jQuery AJAX has more built-in features.

Are there any performance differences between them?

Fetch is more efficient in terms of performance, especially for large data sets, as it uses Promises and is more lightweight.

Can I use Fetch in older browsers?

Fetch is not supported in Internet Explorer, but you can use polyfills to enable it in older browsers.
