Async/Await

Async/await is modern JavaScript syntax for handling asynchronous operations in a more readable, synchronous-looking way. Functions marked with async automatically return Promises, and the await keyword pauses execution until a Promise resolves. This eliminates deeply nested callback functions (callback hell) and makes asynchronous code much easier to write, read, and debug.

DOM

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming interface that represents an HTML document as a tree structure where each element, attribute, and piece of text becomes a node. JavaScript can interact with this tree to dynamically read, modify, add, or delete elements on a webpage, enabling interactive and dynamic user experiences without reloading the page.

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. Despite its name, JSON is language-independent and is used across virtually all programming languages for data exchange between servers and web applications, APIs, and configuration files.

React

React is a JavaScript library developed by Meta (Facebook) for building user interfaces, particularly single-page applications. It uses a component-based architecture where UIs are built from independent, reusable pieces. React's virtual DOM efficiently updates only changed elements, and its declarative approach lets developers describe what the UI should look like for any given state.

TypeScript

TypeScript is a strongly typed programming language that builds on JavaScript by adding optional static type checking. Developed by Microsoft, it helps catch errors during development rather than at runtime, improves code documentation through type definitions, and enables better tooling with features like intelligent autocompletion and safe refactoring in modern code editors.

Vue.js

Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It is designed to be incrementally adoptable, meaning you can use as little or as much of Vue as your project needs. Vue combines reactive data binding with a component system, offering an approachable learning curve while being powerful enough for complex applications with its ecosystem of tools.

npm

npm (Node Package Manager) is the default package manager for Node.js and the world's largest software registry with over a million packages. It allows developers to share and reuse code packages, manage project dependencies, and run scripts. The package.json file in your project defines which packages are needed, their versions, and custom scripts.
