SPA (Single Page Application)

English

Overview

A web application architecture that loads the full page only once, then uses JavaScript to rewrite just parts of the screen from then on.

Details

Short for Single Page Application. Instead of re-fetching the entire page from the server on every navigation, an SPA fetches only the data it needs via an API and updates the display, achieving a smooth feel closer to a native app. It's often contrasted with server-side rendering (SSR).
