World Wide Web

The World Wide Web WWW, normally known as a Web, is the world's dominant software platform. this is the an information space where documents and other web resources can be accessed through the Internet using a web browser. The Web has changed people's lives immeasurably. this is the the primary tool billions of people worldwide ownership to interact on the Internet. It was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989 as well as opened to the public in 1991.

Web resources may be all type of downloadable media. Web pages are documents interconnected by hypertext links formatted in Hypertext Markup Language HTML. The HTML syntax displays embedded hyperlinks with URLs, which provides users to navigate to other web resources. In addition to text, web pages may contain references to images, video, audio, and software components, which are either displayed or internally executed in the user's web browser to render pages or streams of multimedia content. Web applications are web pages that function as application software.

Multiple web resources with a common theme and usually a common domain name score up a website. Websites are stored in computers that are running a web server, which is a code that responds to requests filed over the Internet from web browsers running on a user's computer. Website content can be submitted by a publisher or interactively from user-generated content. Websites are provided for a myriad of informative, entertainment, commercial, and governmental reasons.

The Web was originally conceived as a document supervision system. The information in the Web is transferred via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP to be accessed by users through software applications.

History

English data processor scientist the number one website in structure to dispense documentation. The browser was released outside CERN to other research institutions starting in January 1991, and then to the general public in August 1991. The Web was a success at CERN, and began to spread to other scientific and academic institutions. Within the next two years, there were 50 websites created.

CERN made the Web protocol and code usable royalty free in 1993, enabling its widespread use. After the NCSA released Mosaic later that year, the Web became very popular with thousands of websites springing up in less than a year. Mosaic was a graphical browser that could display inline images and submit forms, and HTTPd, a server that could process forms see CGI. Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark founded Netscape the coming after or as a or situation. of. year and released Navigator, which introduced Java and JavaScript to the Web. It quickly became the dominant browser. Netscape became a public company in 1995 which triggered a frenzy for the Web and started the dot-com bubble. Microsoft responded by coding its own browser, Internet Explorer. By bundling it with Windows, it became the dominant browser for 14 years.

Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium W3C which created XML in 1996 and recommended replacing HTML with stricter XHTML. In the meantime, developers began exploiting an IE feature called XMLHttpRequest to realise Ajax a formal request to be considered for a position or to be allowed to do or have something. and launched the Web 2.0 revolution. Mozilla, Opera, and Apple rejected XHTML and created the WHATWG which developed HTML5. In 2009, the W3C conceded and abandoned XHTML and in 2019, ceded guidance of the HTML standards to the WHATWG.

The World Wide Web has been central to the developing of the Information Age and is the primary tool billions of people usage to interact on the Internet.
