Browser History API

Definitions

1. The browser API that lets web applications manipulate session history, update URLs, and respond to back/forward navigation without full page reloads. Single-page applications rely on the History API for routing and deep linking while still presenting browser-native navigation behavior.

   In plain English: The browser API that lets web apps manage navigation history and URLs.

   Example: "The SPA router used the Browser History API to keep URLs meaningful while switching views client-side instead of reloading the whole page."
