When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model of the page, which is an object oriented representation of an HTML document that acts as an interface between JavaScript and the document itself. This allows the creation of dynamic web pages, [13] because within a page JavaScript can:
JSX (JavaScript Syntax Extension) is a syntax extension for JavaScript, commonly used with React to describe what the UI should look like.
React creates an in-memory data-structure cache, computes the resulting differences, and then updates the browser's displayed DOM efficiently. [31] This process is called reconciliation. This allows the programmer to write code as if the entire page is rendered on each change, while React only renders the components that actually change.
With Ajax, web applications can send and retrieve data from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behaviour of the existing page. By decoupling the data interchange layer from the presentation layer, Ajax allows web pages and, by extension, web applications, to change content dynamically without ...
The XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object, a tool used by Ajax applications for browser–server communication, can also be pressed into service for server–browser Comet messaging by generating a custom data format for an XHR response, and parsing out each event using browser-side JavaScript; relying only on the browser firing the onreadystatechange ...
A virtual DOM is a lightweight JavaScript representation of the Document Object Model (DOM) used in declarative web frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Elm. [1] Since generating a virtual DOM is relatively fast, any given framework is free to rerender the virtual DOM as many times as needed relatively cheaply.
The init function is called when the binding has been applied to an element, perfect for onetime initialization. Whenever the bound observable changes, an update function is called that allows you to react to changing data. Here’s a simple example of a custom binding handler that applies a jQuery UI datepicker to an input element:
Because the HTML <script> element does not respect the same-origin policy in web browser implementations, a malicious page can request and obtain JSON data belonging to another site. This will allow the JSON-encoded data to be evaluated in the context of the malicious page, possibly divulging passwords or other sensitive data if the user is ...
