# Breaking: #69916 - Registered AJAX handlers replaced by routes

See [forge#69916](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/69916)

## Description

AJAX handlers registered in the core by `ExtensionManagementUtility::registerAjaxHandler()` have been replaced
by AJAX routes, which are registered inside any extension under Configuration/Backend/AjaxRoutes.php.

The routes registered in AjaxRoutes.php are available via JavaScript via `TYPO3.settings.ajaxUrls[routeIdentifier]`.

## Impact

Calling removed AJAX identifiers will result in an error. Please see the table below for migration.

## Affected Installations

All 3rd party extensions using one of the removed handlers is affected.

## Migration

Please see the table to get the new AJAX identifier.
