Web-oriented architecture

Web-oriented architecture is a type of software design that allows web servers and web browsers to communicate with each other. It gives web servers a way to send information, such as files, pictures, and videos, to the web browser. The web browser can then show this information to the user. It also allows the user to send information back to the server, such as when someone fills out a form on a website. Web-oriented architecture makes it easier to create websites that are interactive and works with all different kinds of devices, like phones and tablets.
