About
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of HTML and
XML documents, defining layout, colors, typography, and responsive behavior across different devices.
It uses a cascading and specificity model to resolve style conflicts, supports reusable rules and selectors, and includes layout systems such as Flexbox and Grid, media queries for responsive design, and features for animations, transformations, and advanced text formatting.
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a portable binary instruction format that runs in modern web browsers with near-native performance, enabling frontend coding in languages that were not traditionally used for web interfaces, such as C/C++,
C#, and
Rust.
It is designed as a low-level compilation target with a compact binary format, fast execution, memory-safe sandboxing, and a stack-based virtual machine. It also integrates with JavaScript to access Web APIs and share memory efficiently.
