Hello! I'm new to Ajax (coming from PHP world), and I've been able to find plenty of examples of Ajax being used to display data from XML on a web page, but I haven't found many examples of Ajax being used to update/edit the content or structure of an XML file through the web page front-end. Is there a reason this doesn't seem to be commonly done?
Thanks!

XML when served by the server when making asynchronous requests is purely for the sake of easy data manipulation given that a XML response can be easily inspected/worked upon using the DOM API.

You can, but there doesn't seem to be any real need to do so.
