Web History
Web History refers to the record of web pages a user has visited in a web browser, typically stored locally on the device. It enables features like back/forward navigation, session restoration, and browsing history tracking. In web development, it also encompasses the browser's History API, which allows JavaScript to manipulate the browser history for single-page applications (SPAs).
Developers should learn about Web History to build user-friendly web applications with proper navigation, especially for SPAs where traditional page reloads are avoided. Understanding the History API is crucial for implementing client-side routing, maintaining state across page changes, and ensuring compatibility with browser features like bookmarks and the back button. It's essential for creating seamless, app-like experiences in modern web development.
