What is PWA?

PWA – Progressive Web App an amalgamation of mobile app & website that brings the best of both and gives the users an amazing experience. A progressive web application development has to ascertain that it meets the basic requirements for giving you an app like feel.

PWA

Progressive Web Apps will work well as it’s built with progressive enhancement as a core tenet. It is not depended on your locations and browsers anymore.

So, PWA is a browser mobile web applications which automatically sync the web content with your mobile app. It loads all the content in the mobile browser everytime you make any changes in the website. PWA is a collection of different technologies, designing concepts and web APIs through which we can get an app-like experience on a mobile browser.

How are these different from the web application and Native apps?

~ Responsive:  Progressive Web Apps are totally responsive to any device. The device can be any like desktop, a mobile, a tablet, or even something that hasn’t been created yet, it is a perfect fit for all these devices.

~ Updated: Using service provider, your PWA is always up-to-date with the latest code. Means like an app, If you want to update code, then you need to create it and send a request to users to download the newly updated app. But in PWA, there is no need to send any kind of update request to the users. Whenever you upload code/patch on the server, it will directly sync with the user’s device.

~ Secure: PWA is always served using HTTPS (http will work well in development environment). So no one can interlope without proper authentication.

~ Easy to find: Using worker registration scope of PWA allows search engines to find them easily.

~ Push Notification: PWA has a functionality to implement Push notifications. So the user can easily connect to the application.

~ Installation: PWA installation is very easy. Just open the website ->Add to home screen. By this website will access from home screen without any hassles go to app store and download it. Then install it and access it.

~ Independent of connectivity: Using Service workers, you can access PWA on a slow connection or offline too.
