What are Progressive Web Apps?

According to web.dev, progressive web apps (PWAs) are built and enhanced with modern Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in order to deliver enhanced capabilities, reliability, and installability while reaching anyone and anywhere on any device with a single codebase.

PWAs are indeed web applications, but these apps can provide users with a unique opportunity in order to deliver a web experience that users will love.

MDN Web Docs defined PWAs as web apps that use emerging web browser Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and features along with traditional progressive enhancement strategy in order to bring a “native app-like” user experience to cross-platform web apps.

In an article on Windows Edge Blog, PWAs are “great web sites” that can behave like native apps as these are web apps that are progressively enhanced with modern web technologies in order to provide a more app-like experience.
