Web Push API

Summary

The Web Push API is a standard that allows websites to send push notifications to users, even when they are not actively using the site.

Detailed Description

The Web Push API enables servers to send real-time notifications to web browsers after a user has opted in to receive notifications from a website. It relies on service workers to manage background processes. The API works through two main components: a service worker that handles push events, and a push service that delivers the notifications from the server to the user's device. This API is particularly useful for keeping users engaged and informed about updates, even when the web page is not open.
