About
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to create web pages and is the de facto standard for documents displayed in web browsers.
It defines the structure of web content using elements for text, links, images, forms, tables, and embedded media, organizes documents into a hierarchical DOM, and enables hyperlinking between pages, which is a fundamental mechanism of the World Wide Web.
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.
