That's what I got exception 'Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException' in C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel-5\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Htt‌​p\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php:53

You're hitting Laravel's CSRF protection.

http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/routing#csrf-protection

You need to pass the hidden _token field's value. This can be done automatically on all jQuery-initiated AJAX requests by doing this in your application's JS:

$.ajaxSetup({
        headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('input[name="_token"]').value()
        }
});

Or, you can manually fetch and pass the value of the _token hidden field in each of your AJAX calls.
