## Description

Infinite-ajax-scroll is a JavaScript library that automatically appends subsequent pages of content as users scroll down a webpage, turning standard pagination into infinite scrolling. It transforms traditional multi-page website pagination into continuous loading flows by fetching and inserting next-page items directly into active container elements.

The library includes a pagination parser that extracts next-page anchor links and container structures directly from existing static markup without requiring backend changes. It monitors scroll positions relative to document boundaries to automatically fire network requests, while synchronizing the browser address bar and navigation history dynamically using the History API as distinct pages come into view. Additionally, it broadcasts custom JavaScript events at key stages of loading to allow external scripts to react to data fetching and DOM updates.
