Difference between method and type?

Question

AJAX

Good afternoon. I always used type post or get in Ajax, but I saw some in the documentation for 2016 that they write method. For me, it makes no difference that this and that serves as an indicator through which method we transfer data through post or get requests. If I'm wrong, explain the difference

Answer 1

type (default: 'GET')
Type: String
An alias for method . You should use type if you're using versions of jQuery prior to 1.9.0.

Answer 2

Judging by the documentation, this is the same method, only with a different name, and it is desirable to use it with jQuery <= 1.9 version

type (default: 'GET')

Type: String
An alias for method. You should use type if you're using versions of jQuery prior to 1.9.0.
