Applications that operate within a web browser environment are software programs executed on a server and accessed through a client-side interface. These applications utilize standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to deliver interactive experiences. A common example is an online word processor, allowing users to create and edit documents directly within their browser without installing dedicated software.
This approach offers several advantages, including cross-platform compatibility, as the application can be accessed from any device with a web browser. Furthermore, it simplifies deployment and maintenance since updates are managed centrally on the server. Historically, this model has evolved from static web pages to complex interactive applications, driving advancements in web technologies and user accessibility.
