In JavaScript, it is possible to make AJAX GET requests in the following way.

Note: scroll to See also section to see other variants of AJAX requests.

1. Pure JavaScript (Vanilla JS) AJAX GET request

Edit

In this section XMLHttpRequest object has been used to make a GET request.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
​
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
​
    xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
            if (xhr.status == 200) {
                document.body.innerText = 'Response: ' + xhr.responseText;
            } else {
                document.body.innerText = 'Error: ' + xhr.status;
            }
        }
    };
​
    xhr.open('GET', '/examples/echo?text=hello', true);
    xhr.send(null);
​
</script>
</body>
</html>

2. Spring MVC server site GET methods example

Edit

In this section simple Spring backend that handles GET method requests is presented.

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
​
@Controller
public class EchoGetController {
​
    @RequestMapping(value = "/examples/echo", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @ResponseBody
    public String makeGetEcho(@RequestParam("text") String text) {
        return text;
    }
}
