I made an API with ExpressJS and when I try a GET request with this:

requestData.open("GET", "http://localhost:3000/get-data", false)

it works and gives me a depreciation error in the console but if I use

requestData.open("GET", "http://localhost:3000/get-data", true)

it doesn't work. Is it ok to keep using false even with the warning?

It still doesn't work if I put nothing – Carter121 Nov 26 '21 at 05:09

"doesn't work" is not a proper problem description. – gre_gor Nov 26 '21 at 05:10
Im console.logging the response and its blank if I don't put anything. Same if I put true. – Carter121 Nov 26 '21 at 05:13
`async` flag has been deprecated for 10 years now. Find a modern tutorial on AJAX. – gre_gor Nov 26 '21 at 05:23
