Service for making AJAX requests in Ember applications.

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against ember-ajax@5.1.2.

ember-ajax ships CommonJS only. require("ember-ajax") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js 6.* || 8.* || >= 10.*. import "ember-ajax" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.
