You'll need the PHP file the Javacript references and a PHP webserver installed once you get it.can i do using java? i did not work much with PHP
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

You can do whatever you want with whatever web technology you want.
If you want to run the code from the sample as-is, you need PHP since it calls a PHP file: xmlhttp.open("POST", "json_demo_db_post.php", true);
You can use the javascript provided and call whatever web page you create as long as it does the same thing as the sample from w3schools.com.

i am running above html in C drive of my windows laptop
so paste below data file saved as .php or .js?
how to point that local path ?
if both html and .php same location it should automatically pick right?
You need to set up your computer as a web server. You cannot just copy php/aspx/jsp/??? code and run it without the correct web server that knows how to interpret the corresponding files.
The code you posted is just the HTML file with the JSON javascript. You need to find the json_demo_db_post.php file on the w3schools website. Then it gets back to what I posted above: You need a PHP web server before you can run it.
If you don't want to run PHP and want to run some other web server, you'll need to port the json_demo_db_post.php into whatever language your web server handles.
For Windows it is IIS as your web server and typically .Net code.

let me try
https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_stringify.asp
>>what is dbparam
It holds the string value that will eventually be passed in to json_demo_db_post.php:
xmlhttp.send("x=" + dbParam);
