There are two types of server responses in Ajax. **responseText Property** If the Response XML is not received from the server, then use the responseText property. The responseText property returns a String as a Response and you can use it accordingly. **responseXML Property** If the Response from the Server is XML and you want to parse it as an XML Object using the parseXML(), then use the Response XML Properties. \ Example ```                         Ajax Example
