Hi Smita,

1. What is the use Javascript Remoting?
 A) You can communicate with VF page's controller's methods without posting your form. Action Function posts the data.
 
2. If more flexible, When we need to use?
A) JS remoting is not an alternate for Action function. There may arise a case in a requirement to get/set some information or basically to perform an from the controller without actually posting the form.
 
3. What is the use of Action function?
A) It posts data to the controller. Unlike JS remoting you can rerender certain portions of your VF page. Because of this particular page rendering, you can get refreshed values from the server.
 
4. What is the difference between Action function and Javascript remoting?
A)
i) Action function posts the form and JS Remoting does not
ii) Action function can do partial page rerendering which JS remoting can not.
 
5. JS remoting used for mainly calling the APEX method from javascript? if yes whats the benefits ? can u please let me know real time scenario?
A)
i) Auto-complete search. for e.g. to list the articles titles while ii
) Any scenario where you dont want to refresh the page/no partial page rendering and just want to perform an action.
iii) Any scenario where you need to repetitively call controller without a need to rerender.
iv) There is a possibility to avoid View-State issue when you use JS remoting because you will just give back the data to the user but not keep it on the server which mounts to View-State.
