Understanding the presentation layers of web applications

This chapter discusses an architecture for implementing the presentation layers of web-based applications based on the ASP.NET Core framework. The presentation layers of web applications are based on three techniques:

Mobile or desktop native applications that exchange data with servers through REST or SOAP services: We have not discussed them since they are strictly tied to the client device and its operating system. Therefore, analyzing them, which would require a dedicated book, is completely beyond the scope of this book.
Single-Page Applications (SPAs): These are HTML-based applications whose dynamic HTML is created on the client either in JavaScript or with the help of WebAssembly (a kind of cross-browser assembly that can be used as a high-performance alternative to JavaScript). Like native applications, SPAs exchange data with the server through REST or SOAP services, but they have the advantage of...
