Modern browser APIs to use today

Modern browser APIs have significantly enhanced web development, allowing developers to create applications that rival native apps in functionality, such as using native dialogs and system notifications. These APIs include the Page Visibility API for tracking user engagement, the Fetch API for making network requests, and the Broadcast Channel API for communication between browser contexts. The Service Workers API plays a crucial role in offline experiences and network request handling. Additionally, APIs for document structure manipulation, graphics rendering, device interaction, data storage, and media management have expanded web capabilities, enabling sophisticated features like geolocation, vibration feedback, ambient light detection, and real-time audio and video streaming. The ongoing development of these APIs empowers developers to build more dynamic and responsive web applications, as detailed in resources like the MDN Web API documentation.
