# Async requests

To improve user experience **Echo** features has been created. This allows to test asynchronous requests, add javascript files, create workers - all from one fiddle, so it is more transparent for the user reading the code. 

Asynchronous requests are split to **HTML**, **JSON**, **JSONP** and **XML**. [*Gist*](http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/gist_response.html#gist-response) and [*github*](http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/github_response.html#github-response) responses are similar to the echo feature and go nicely in pair with storing fiddles in [*gist*](http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/gist_read.html#gist-read) and [*github*](http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/github_read.html#github-read).
