Applications run by using HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
Can run in browser without installing in host system
Graphical user interface provides the drag and drop of fields without coding by a developer
It uses the client browser resources for data manipulation and rendering.
It uses the client browser resources for data manipulation and rendering.
Server work as a data provider only.
Entire application interface can be provided or rendered at client as a view.
Normally client browser provides little debugging facility for JavaScript. Generating zero error code makes the application more efficient.
Intranet applications are zero or less prone to Cyber attacks.
Usage of client resources at browser level makes the system more powerful.
End user able to change the chart type and other analysis.
Templating makes the system to automate repeating configuration tasks for user pages.
Visualization of data in a graphical way is easy to understand by the end user.
By using statistical analysis user can aggregate data by the way they want (like Summation, Average, Count, Maximum and Minimum).
By using the small libraries from Content Delivery Network (In-House Server) makes the system small and more powerful.
It reduces the cost of Cloud Computing environments. Reduces the dependency on external networks. Every system must be connected to intranet.
User can embed the pages as a iFrame in other web pages.
It can takes the input in the form of JSON table or HTML table.
Data at browser level handled in the form of JSON or HTML table.
By automating the coding process user can put more effort on process. By converting the specification directly into user interface/application makes the application error free. Modification and maintenance easy.
Automating the repeating tasks of coding reduces the time taken for development.
In-House solution reduces the dependency on external network. Data manipulation done at client side. In-House solutions provides full control on data and application. Digitization of business process done as per the requirement with full control at client site.
Visualization of data makes decision making process easy. Thus dependency on server reduces. The role of server is to provide data only.
Content Delivery Network (CDN) used for hosting commonly used JavaScript, CSS scripts for use by applications. They are small, fast, Quick and responsive. Definition of the page only served by the server other scripts are provided by the CDN platform.
Distributed computing make use of client resources and reduces the need on server for computing and other services.
The sum of all client resources is more than a single powerful server. Upgrading client level hardware is easy, non expensive and it can be used for other purposes also.
Updating a single powerful server requires need for expertise people and it is expensive. Not a good solution for startups because s expensive.
Distributed computing works on the principle of plug and play methods and system is scalable and it can be extended as clients are connected to it.
Distributed computing always provides scalability as it is not entirely dependent on single powerful server. Client resources act as additional resources which can be scaled horizontally scaled up and down as user uses the application.
Data fetching is fast compared to rendering. Application servers normally takes longer CPU cycles for data rendering instead of data fetching. If rendering task is handled by client resources at browser level it greatly improves the responsiveness of the application.
