It&#039;s like a librarian who fetches the book you want from the library shelves. When you visit www.google.com, a Google web server receives your request and sends you the Google homepage files. Web servers are always connected to the Internet and waiting for requests.<br /> * APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): An API is like a menu at a restaurant. It tells you what &quot;dishes&quot; (services or data) you can &quot;order&quot; and how to order them from another program or service. In the world of web, APIs allow different software programs to talk to and share information with each other in a structured way. For example, when a weather app shows you the forecast, it&#039;s probably getting that information from a weather service&#039;s API. This means the weather app doesn&#039;t need to collect all the weather data itself; it just asks another service for it using its API. APIs are crucial for building complex applications that use features from many different sources.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Bibliography:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;What is a web server?
