I am guessing you are referring to a GET request.

I recently did a guide in laravel of the basics. I really don’t want to do one for cakephp and yii2 as all are very similar, just return the JSON according to the cake docs.

Here is the guide in laravel, just very basic starter guide only:  
[https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/guides/jquery-get-response](https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/guides/jquery-get-response)

Also a POST  
[https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/guides/jquery-ajax-post-example](https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/guides/jquery-ajax-post-example)

But adapt to cakephp’s reqest style, etc

But there are ton’s of examples on the jquery site.

If using another JS framework, sorry I can’t help as I use normal javascript and jquery.
