Sending a POST request not working?

You have written
xhr.open('POST', 'http://www.example.com/api?foobar=true');
It should be
xhr.open("POST", 'http://www.example.com/api?foobar=true');

'POST' should be replaced as "POST"
Rest every thing is fine.

Why do you have to replace the single quotes with double quotes?
