Why Are Companies Choosing Single Page Application (SPA) For Their Enterprise Applications?

Single page application is gaining popularity nowadays. The websites that can mimic Single Page Application are successful in providing look and feel of the mobile app and this is what attracts most of the people to move from multi-page application to single-page application (SPA).

Single Page application (SPA) is a web application that fits on a single page. All the necessary codes are retrieved within a single page load and navigation between pages performed without refreshing the whole page.

The best thing about SPA is that it gives a seamless experience to the users as the page doesn’t reload during the whole process until and unless it is manually refreshed by the user. Most of the interactions happen on the client side without any need to reach the server.

Single Page Application is good for making Responsive Websites, Support mobile, Tablet & Desktop.

• There are no extra queries to the server to download pages.
• SPA is user-friendly.
• SPA supports various interactions with multiple components which have many intermediate states.

  In Single Page application, there is no problem of setting up huge menus as all the information can be gathered by simply scrolling down the page.
