What is the difference between async=false and async=true, when I am using open method of XMLHttpRequest?

function GetXML() {

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    else {// code for IE6, IE5
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = test
    xmlhttp.open("GET", "PlanetCafe.xml", true);
    xmlhttp.send(null);
}

Mozilla Developer: Synchronous and Asynchronous Requests

XMLHttpRequest supports both synchronous and asynchronous munications. In general, however, asynchronous requests should be preferred to synchronous requests for performance reasons.

In short, synchronous requests block the execution of code and can leak memory and events. This can cause serious issues. The only viable reason to use synchronous requests is to more easily facilitate downloads within Web Workers.
