Web APIs
A set of essential interfaces and functions to interact with the browser environment. Eg handling user interactions, getting browser and device information, scheduling and canceling periodic or one-time tasks.
Eg. [prompt], [console]

Canvas APIs
Create, transform, and display images and graphics within the HTML element.
Eg. [createImageBitmap]

URL
Manipulate URLs, extract data from URLs and manage query parameters.
Eg. [URL]

Events
Handle events and interactions. Listen for and respond to various events, including custom events, errors, progress, and promise rejections.
Eg. [addEventListener]

Fetch APIs
HTTP client for fetching data across a network. Retrieve resources from servers, handle responses, and manage network requests.
Eg. [fetch], [Headers], [Request], [Response]

Cache APIs
Tools for caching and managing data. Store and retrieve data from the cache, manage cache storage limits, and handle cache-related events.
Eg. [caches]

Messaging APIs

Eg. [BroadcastChannel], [MessageChannel]

Encoding APIs
Handle character encoding, decoding, and binary data conversion.
Eg. [TextEncoder], [TextDecoder]

Intl
Tools for internationalization and localization. Create language-aware applications, handle date and time formatting, and adapt content for different locales.
Eg. [Intl]

Performance
Measure, analyze, and optimize application performance.
Eg. [Performance]

Streams APIs
