Studying the role of progressive web application in modern web development

Abstract

This article explores the Progressive Web Application web development technology. It also explains what this technology is and its purpose. The paper also compares progressive web applications with other closely related web technologies such as adaptive websites and native applications. This highlights the most important differences and similarities between them. In addition, the paper discusses the benefits as well as possible limitations of this technology. Progressive web applications, or PWAs, are applications built using web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But they have the feel and functionality of a true native application. A native app is a software application created in a specific programming language for a specific device platform - iOS or Android. Thanks to modern technology, almost any website can be turned into a PWA. This means that you can quickly create a PWA compared to a native app, which is quite difficult to develop. PWAs have been gaining popularity lately. Many websites of large companies are PWAs - for example Twitter, one of the most common social networking platforms.
