A Single Page Application (SPA) is a type of web application that loads once and dynamically updates content as users interact, eliminating the need for full page reloads. It provides a smoother, more responsive user experience by leveraging JavaScript for seamless navigation.
In traditional websites, clicking a link triggers the browser to fetch a new page from the server, resulting in a full reload. If you've experienced early versions of websites like Facebook, you might recall that actions such as 'liking' required a reload to see the impact.
- SPAs load once, and subsequent interactions dynamically update content.
- JavaScript is used to manipulate the page's content without requiring a complete reload.
- SPAs provide a smoother and more interactive user experience by eliminating the need for frequent page refreshes.
- Actions like 'liking' become instantaneous, enhancing the overall flow of the application.
Popular SPA's: Gmail, Google Maps, Airbnb, Netflix, Pinterest, Paypal, and many more.
Resource for SPA's: React, Angular, Vue.Js
