Exact difference between the getXMLAnswer & getXML

[Abhishek_Thakur]

"Hey community see what I have for you today, while working on GlideAjax from the client, the often seen method is using getXML (hopefully not getXMLWait, though that's another topic.) I'm actually wondering why?! I prefer using getXMLAnswer. you might ask yourself now, why?! The reason very simple: getXMLAnswer is slightly easier to write😀 and getXML returns a whole XML Document while getXMLAnswer only returns an Answer which is far more efficiently."
