Just use jQuery, it's practically an industry standard now and is well documented with lots of tutorials and code samples. The advantage is that it takes care of cross-browser issues for you and you have to write much less code than you would otherwise.

if i use jquery then how i communicate mvc view??basically i want to know if i use jquery then how i display data return from web api in mvc view??

You call an action and the action returns the View (normally a partial view). The MVC framework will cause that action to return the html which you can inject into the page. The alternative is that you return JSON from your actions and create elements in javascript from the data in that JSON and inject those elements into the DOM. eg if you return a product you can create a "div", in that div create a "p" and make the html of the "p" the title from the JSON, then add an "img" to the div and make the src of the image a url from the JSON, then inject the div into the page where you want the product to appear.

so basically when we are working in mvc action will return view along with data either list or object in web api only return json or xml,so when api return data we cant assign this to view or we cant return view with data in web api.if i use jquery then how this possible.??

example public actionresult index()
{
var data = context.product.get();
return view();
}
so in view i can get this data.
so how can i achieve this in web api? if i use jquery?? wep api only return me json data how to map this data with mvc view???

An mvc action can return html, or json, or pretty much anything. You can get web api to return html (google ".net webapi return view" and you'll find some ideas) but ideally webapi should only return data, so json or xml, and your calling code then works out what to do with that data and how to display it.
