How can PWA benefit your business?

PWA benefit

Progressive Web Application (PWA), as the name suggests, is a type of application that is enabled through the web. It gives the user reachability of the web and the functionality of a mobile app.

A PWA is built using commonly used development languages, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., that is compatible with multiple operating systems, browsers, and devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) using a single code-base.

Essential Technologies to Develop Progressive Web Apps:

1. Service Workers: Service Workers, in essence, are virtual network proxies that store and cache the network by creating a local algorithm. Doing this enables the PWA users to access the application in offline mode.
2. Web App Manifest: A web app manifest file is nothing but a JSON file that allows developers to store the metadata of the Progressive Web App.
3. Web Assembly: It is a performance-enhancement algorithm. It is an effective code that is compatible with multiple programming languages, which helps Progressive Web Apps to run at a native app speed.

Benefits of PWA for businesses

1. Smaller in Size and Quick Installation
2. Reduces Development Costs and Increased Return on Investment
3. Works well in Poor Network Connection
4. No need for App Aggregators
5. Faster Loading Time and Updates

Features of PWA in iOS

• Can store offline data of up to 50 Mb
• iOS frees the app files when not used for a prolonged period of time
• Cannot execute the code in the background
• No access to private information and social apps
• Developers don’t have to learn new technologies and APIs.

Technologies and Features of PWA in Android

The developers use Trusted Web Activity which has made the implementation of PWA easier as it leverages the browser to render PWA in full screen in Android.

• Same compatibility as the browser with the Web Platform features and APIs.
• Using Bubblewrap (a Command Line Interface (CLI)) — with Trusted Web Activity — the developer can develop PWA in the form of a NodeJS library.
• It is also compatible with PWABuilder, which helps in developing the GUI interface.
• Bubblewrap and PWABuilder also render smooth addition of the JSON file to PWA.
