How to update html table with php loop?

Question

AJAX

There is a regular html table, the content of which is generated in php and displayed in a loop in the markup. The question is: is it possible to somehow update the contents of the table using only the existing markup? If yes, how to do it? Now I send an Ajax request, then I hide the main table and substitute another table generated by the backend in its place, although in fact my request simply changes the contents of the array without touching the structure. Here also it would be desirable to simplify the scenario somehow.
