Progressive Web Application (PWA)
Exact Definition
A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a type of application software delivered through the web, built using common web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, designed to work on any platform.
Architectural Deep Dive
PWAs allow developers to build web apps that look and feel like native mobile apps. By utilizing Service Workers, PWAs cache assets and data locally, enabling offline operation. When a user loses internet access (e.g., in a remote farm or warehouse), the app records transactions locally and syncs them automatically once reconnected.
