Which JavaScript method is used to send an asynchronous HTTP request to a server?

  1. fetch()

  2. XMLHttpRequest()

  3. send()

  4. open()


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The fetch() method is a modern and simplified way to make asynchronous HTTP requests in JavaScript.

What is the syntax for using the fetch() method?

  1. fetch(url)

  2. fetch(url, options)

  3. fetch(url, data)

  4. fetch(url, headers)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The fetch() method takes two arguments: the URL of the resource to fetch and an optional options object.

What is the default HTTP method used by the fetch() method?

  1. GET

  2. POST

  3. PUT

  4. DELETE


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The default HTTP method used by the fetch() method is GET, which is used to retrieve data from a server.

How can you specify the HTTP method for a fetch() request?

  1. Using the method option

  2. Using the type option

  3. Using the request option

  4. Using the data option


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The method option in the fetch() method allows you to specify the HTTP method to use for the request.

What is the purpose of the headers option in the fetch() method?

  1. To specify the request headers

  2. To specify the response headers

  3. To specify the request body

  4. To specify the response body


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The headers option in the fetch() method allows you to specify the request headers to send with the request.

How can you send data with a fetch() request?

  1. Using the data option

  2. Using the body option

  3. Using the params option

  4. Using the query option


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The body option in the fetch() method allows you to send data with the request.

What is the purpose of the JSON.stringify() method?

  1. To convert a JavaScript object to a JSON string

  2. To convert a JSON string to a JavaScript object

  3. To parse a JSON string

  4. To validate a JSON string


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The JSON.stringify() method converts a JavaScript object or value to a JSON string.

What is the purpose of the JSON.parse() method?

  1. To convert a JavaScript object to a JSON string

  2. To convert a JSON string to a JavaScript object

  3. To parse a JSON string

  4. To validate a JSON string


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The JSON.parse() method converts a JSON string to a JavaScript object.

What is the difference between a synchronous and asynchronous request?

  1. Synchronous requests wait for a response before continuing, while asynchronous requests do not.

  2. Synchronous requests are faster than asynchronous requests.

  3. Asynchronous requests are more secure than synchronous requests.

  4. Synchronous requests are easier to implement than asynchronous requests.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Synchronous requests block the execution of the program until a response is received, while asynchronous requests allow the program to continue executing while waiting for a response.

What are the benefits of using asynchronous requests?

  1. Improved performance and responsiveness

  2. Reduced server load

  3. Improved scalability

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Asynchronous requests offer improved performance and responsiveness, reduced server load, and improved scalability.

What is the purpose of the XMLHttpRequest object?

  1. To send and receive HTTP requests

  2. To parse JSON data

  3. To create HTML elements

  4. To handle events


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The XMLHttpRequest object is used to send and receive HTTP requests in JavaScript.

What are the different states of an XMLHttpRequest object?

  1. UNSENT, OPENED, HEADERS_RECEIVED, LOADING, DONE

  2. NEW, CONNECTED, SENDING, RECEIVING, CLOSED

  3. REQUEST, RESPONSE, ERROR, ABORTED

  4. PENDING, ACTIVE, COMPLETED


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The XMLHttpRequest object goes through different states during its lifetime: UNSENT, OPENED, HEADERS_RECEIVED, LOADING, DONE.

How can you handle the response of an XMLHttpRequest request?

  1. Using the onload event

  2. Using the onreadystatechange event

  3. Using the onprogress event

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

You can handle the response of an XMLHttpRequest request using the onload, onreadystatechange, and onprogress events.

What is the purpose of the readystatechange event in XMLHttpRequest?

  1. To notify when the request state changes

  2. To notify when the response is received

  3. To notify when the request is completed

  4. To notify when an error occurs


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The readystatechange event in XMLHttpRequest is used to notify when the state of the request changes.

What is the purpose of the status property in XMLHttpRequest?

  1. To indicate the status code of the response

  2. To indicate the state of the request

  3. To indicate the size of the response

  4. To indicate the type of the response


Correct Option: A
