HTML:

HTML serves as the backbone of web pages, providing the structure and content organization. It
consists of a set of tags that define the elements of a webpage, such as headings, paragraphs,
images, links, and forms. HTML documents are hierarchical, with nested elements forming a
tree-like structure known as the Document Object Model (DOM). This structure facilitates
manipulation and styling using CSS and dynamic behavior using JavaScript.

10
CSS:

CSS complements HTML by providing style and presentation to web pages. It allows developers
to control the layout, colors, fonts, spacing, and other visual aspects of HTML elements. CSS
rules consist of selectors that target specific HTML elements and declarations that define the
style properties to be applied. CSS can be applied directly within HTML documents using inline
styles, within <style> tags in the document head, or externally in separate CSS files. The
separation of content (HTML) from presentation (CSS) enables easier maintenance, scalability,
and consistency across web pages.

JavaScript:

JavaScript adds interactivity and dynamic behavior to web pages, allowing developers to
manipulate the DOM, handle user interactions, and create responsive web applications.
JavaScript can be embedded within HTML documents using <script> tags or included externally
in separate JavaScript files. It enables tasks such as form validation, animation, event handling,
asynchronous requests (AJAX), and client-side data processing. With the advent of modern
JavaScript frameworks and libraries like React, Angular, and Vue.js, developers can build
complex, single-page applications (SPAs) with enhanced performance and user experience.
