A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or web site that fits on a single web page with the goal of providing a more fluid user experience akin to a desktop application. In a SPA, either all necessary code – HTML, JavaScript, and CSS – is retrieved with a single page load,[1] or the appropriate resources are dynamically loaded and added to the page as necessary, usually in response to user actions. The page does not reload at any point in the process, nor does control transfer to another page, although modern web technologies (such as those included in the HTML5 pushState() API) can provide the perception and navigability of separate logical pages in the application. Interaction with the single page application often involves dynamic communication with the web server behind the scenes.
History[edit]
The origins of the term single-page application are unclear. Some sources attribute the term to Steve Yen in 2005[citation needed], though the concept was discussed at least as early as 2003.[2] Stuart (stunix) Morris even wrote the Self-Contained website at slashdotslash.com with the same goals and functions in 2002[3] the same year that Lucas Birdeau, Kevin Hakman, Michael Peachey and Evan Yeh described a single page application implementation in the US patent 8,136,109.[4]
Modern browsers that can parse HTML5 allow developers to shift the user interface (UI) and application logic from web servers to the client. Mature open-source libraries support the building of an SPA without forcing the developer to dig too deep into JavaScript trenches or fight with technology problems.[citation needed]

Technical approaches[edit]
There are various techniques available that enable the browser to retain a single page even when the application requires server communication.
JavaScript frameworks[edit]
Web browser JavaScript frameworks, such as AngularJS, Ember.js, ExtJS and React have adopted SPA principles.
AngularJS is a fully client-side framework. AngularJS's templating is based on bidirectional UI data binding. Data-binding is an automatic way of updating the view whenever the model changes, as well as updating the model whenever the view changes. The HTML template is compiled in the browser. The compilation step creates pure HTML, which the browser re-renders into the live view. The step is repeated for subsequent page views. In traditional server-side HTML programming, concepts such as controller and model interact within a server process to produce new HTML views. In the AngularJS framework, the controller and model state are maintained within the client browser. Therefore new pages are generated without any interaction with a server.
Ember.js is a client-side JavaScript web application framework based on the model-view-controller (MVC) software architectural pattern. It allows developers to create scalable single-page applications by incorporating common idioms and best practices into a framework that provides a rich object model, declarative two-way data binding, computed properties, automatically-updating templates powered by Handlebars.js, and a router for managing application state.
Meteor.js is a full-stack (client-server) JavaScript framework designed exclusively for SPAs. It features simpler data binding than Angular, Ember or ReactJS,[5] and uses the Distributed Data Protocol[6] and a publish–subscribe pattern to automatically propagate data changes to clients in real-time without requiring the developer to write any synchronization code. Full stack reactivity ensures that all layers, from the database to the templates, update themselves automatically when necessary. Ecosystem packages such as Server Side Rendering[7] address the problem of Search Engine Optimization.
