JavaScript
Programming language for web interactivity
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript enables websites to be interactive and dynamic. While HTML and CSS define structure and style, JavaScript adds logic and behavior—validating forms, loading data without refresh, animations, and communication with servers. JavaScript is also used on the backend through Node.js.
Why It Matters
Without JavaScript, most modern web experiences would be static and limited. JavaScript enables advanced UI, faster interactions, and app-like experiences through frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular.
