Single-Page Applications Building A Secure
Login Pathway with LoginRadius
Single-page applications, or SPAs, are web
applications that load a single HTML page and
update it by dynamically rendering the browser's
information as (and when) a user interacts with
the app. The loading mechanism of SPAs is
different from traditional page loads where the
server had to re-render the entire webpage with
every click and send it back to the
browsermaking the process time-consuming. Today,
with a new breed of users who expect data to be
available instantly and accessible everywhere,
developers use JavaScript libraries and tools
like Jquery, Angular to create single,
responsive HTML pages. Such pages can be broken
down into smaller sections, and the JavaScript
code running on the web browser calls the
required APIs on a server that returns the
data. Advantages..? Well, Single-Page
Applications make users' experience incredibly
engaging and unique. The "bits and pieces"
methodology makes load time much faster and
fluid for users. Also, because the amount of
information a server has to send back is a lot
less, the application becomes cost-effective.

Examples of Single-Page Application

• A classic example of single-page applications is
  Gmail. They have mastered SPA-approach. You may
  notice that we do not generally need to refresh
  Gmail when a new email comes we are notified
  instantly. It's obviously communicating with the
  server, but the JavaScript code hides the inbox
  and brings the message body on the same screen.
• Other notable examples of Single-Page
