The Way SPAs Work
The way that single page applications bring these benefits is linked to the way that they work internally:
- After the startup, only data gets sent over the wire as a JSON payload or some other format. But no HTML or CSS gets sent anymore over the wire after the application is running.
The key point to understand how single page applications work is the following:
instead of converting data to HTML on the server and then send it over the wire, in a SPA we have now moved that conversion process from the server to the client.
The conversion happens last second on the client side, which allow us to give a much improved user experience to the user.
In a SPA after application startup, the data to HTML transformation process has been moved from the server to the client – SPAs have the equivalent of a template engine running in your browser!
