Basics: getXMLWait is synchronous, while getXML() is asynchrorous. 

For further understanding look at these answers, which describes it quite well: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=fcc90be5db5cdbc01dcaf3231f9...

Hi,

getxml() : asynchornous call and getxmlwait() : synchronus call

getxml():

it will proceed with the other actions with out depending on the result.

getxmlwait() :

it will wait fofor the result and after that only it will execute the other statements.

Hi Ram,

getXMLWait() - Wait till the time we get input from server & then move ahead.

For instance when you are trying to retrieve value of the field & after getting value then only it should proceed to next step like comparing it with user input.

getXML() - If you are retrieving some data from server and next tasks does not depend on what you are retrieving from server. Ideally, used so as to avoid any performance load.
