JavaScript
JavaScript provides the ability to manipulate and modify HTML elements, handle events, perform calculations, make HTTP requests, and interact with APIs. It is commonly used for tasks such as form validation, DOM manipulation, animations, and implementing interactive features on websites.
Over time, JavaScript has evolved and gained widespread adoption, becoming one of the essential technologies in web development. It has a large ecosystem with numerous libraries, frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js), and tools that make it easier to build complex applications.
JavaScript is a versatile language that extends beyond web development. It can be used for mobile app development (with frameworks like React Native), desktop application development (with frameworks like Electron), and server-side development. It has become an integral part of modern web development and is crucial in creating engaging and interactive web experiences.
