What is the different between Ajax and Web Worker in Javascript?

ajax, web-worker

Solution

AJAX is specifically for communicating with a server, whereas web workers are a for background processing.

While AJAX is asynchronous (by default), this is not to be confused with a "concurrent" model of background processing that web workers offer.

A web worker could be any process and is not restricted to client-server communication.

Problem

I think they almost do the same thing. What's the condition that we should choose Web Worker than Ajax?
