WCAG – Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
International standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that provides recommendations for making web content, applications, and digital information accessible to people with various disabilities, such as visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments.
Web Components
Set of standards that enable the writing of components without the need for other libraries. These standards include: Custom elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML Templates. They work natively in browsers, allowing us to create our own components that can always be run independently of other libraries.
web crawler / indexing robot
Program or automated script that methodically examines and searches websites. For example, the role of a search engine crawler (e.g., Google) is very similar to that of a person who organizes an entire library and creates an easy-to-check catalog of all books so that they can be easily found.

Process of automatically extracting content and data from websites using specially designed software. It can be used to obtain information such as text, images, tabular data, market data, email addresses, and more. Anything that we program the robot, or web crawler, to do.
web stack

XHR – XMLHttpRequest
Web browser scripting language object that allows requests to be sent to a web server using the HTTP protocol. A characteristic feature of XHR is the ability to execute requests after the web page has been loaded during interaction with the user. The responses received from the server are then used to modify the loaded document. The ability to execute requests asynchronously means that they are performed in the background and do not interrupt the user’s interaction with the page, dynamically changing it. The content of the server’s response is most often transmitted in XML, JSON, or plain text formats.
XML – Extensible Markup Language
Uuniversal markup language designed to represent various data in a structured way. It is a markup language and file format for storing, transferring, and reconstructing any data.
