web application

**web application**

A *web application* is a software program that runs on a web server and is accessed through a web browser over the internet or an intranet. Unlike traditional desktop applications, web applications do not require installation on the user’s device and can be used from anywhere with an internet connection. Common examples include online banking platforms, email services, content management systems, and e-commerce websites. Web applications are designed to provide interactive, dynamic user experiences and are typically built using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side scripting languages.
