Sending a JSON to server and retrieving a JSON in return, without JQuery

Sending and receiving data in JSON format using POST method

// Sending and receiving data in JSON format using POST method
//
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = "url";
xhr.open("POST", url, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {
        var json = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
        console.log(json.email + ", " + json.password);
    }
};
var data = JSON.stringify({"email": "[email protected]", "password": "101010"});
xhr.send(data);

Sending and receiving data in JSON format using GET method

// Sending a receiving data in JSON format using GET method
//      
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = "url?data=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({"email": "[email protected]", "password": "101010"}));
xhr.open("GET", url, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {
        var json = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
        console.log(json.email + ", " + json.password);
    }
};
xhr.send();

Handling data in JSON format on the server-side using PHP

<?php
// Handling data in JSON format on the server-side using PHP
//
header("Content-Type: application/json");
// build a PHP variable from JSON sent using POST method
$v = json_decode(stripslashes(file_get_contents("php://input")));
// build a PHP variable from JSON sent using GET method
$v = json_decode(stripslashes($_GET["data"]));
// encode the PHP variable to JSON and send it back on client-side
echo json_encode($v);
?>

The limit of the length of an HTTP Get request is dependent on both the server and the client (browser) used, from 2kB - 8kB. The server should return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if an URI is longer than the server can handle.

Note Someone said that I could use state names instead of state values; in other words I could use xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE instead of xhr.readyState === 4 The problem is that Internet Explorer uses different state names so it's better to use state values.

Using new api fetch:

const dataToSend = JSON.stringify({"email": "[email protected]", "password": "101010"});
let dataReceived = ""; 
fetch("", {
    credentials: "same-origin",
    mode: "same-origin",
    method: "post",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: dataToSend
})
    .then(resp => {
        if (resp.status === 200) {
            return resp.json()
        } else {
            console.log("Status: " + resp.status)
            return Promise.reject("server")
        }
    })
    .then(dataJson => {
        dataReceived = JSON.parse(dataJson)
    })
    .catch(err => {
        if (err === "server") return
        console.log(err)
    })

console.log(`Received: ${dataReceived}`)
