The introduction to the unyt.org ecosystem - presenting an overview of the most important terminology.
AES is a widely used symmetric encryption algorithm, chosen for its security and efficiency, employed in various applications to secure sensitive data by converting it into an unreadable format using a secret encryption key.
Back-end development involves building the behind-the-scenes components of a UIX application, including server logic, databases, and iterfaces, responsible for processing data and powering the interactions between the front-end and various services.
CSS is a language used in web development to control the visual presentation and layout of HTML elements, enabling the design and styling of web pages for improved user experiences.
DATEX is unyt.org’s full-stack communication protocol that enables the exchange and synchronization of real-time data on the Supranet.
The DOM is a programming interface for web documents, representing the structured elements of an HTML document as a tree of objects. It enables dynamic manipulation and interaction with web page content through JavaScript.
Endpoints are consumer devices and users that are connected to the Supranet in order to communicate with each other. Endpoints can be individuals, organizations, IoT devices and bots, or applications.
Front-end development involves creating the logical, visual and interactive aspects of a UIX application that users directly interact with, to ensure a user-friendly and engaging interface.
Full-tack web development involves working on both the front-end (UI) and back-end (server) of a web application, allowing developers to create end-to-end solutions that encompass all layers of technology required for a functional application.
HTML is the standard language for creating and structuring web content, using tags to define the elements and their relationships, forming the foundation of web pages and applications.
Hydration is the practice of adding interactivity to a pre-rendered web page by injecting JavaScript. This enables the page to update and respond to user actions without a full reload. Hydration combines SSR’s initial speed with client-side rendering’s dynamic user experience, enhancing web app performance and usability.
JavaScript is a versatile programming language widely used for adding interactivity, dynamic behavior, and logic to web pages and applications, making them responsive and engaging for users. It runs in web browsers and can also be used on server-side environments.
JSX JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript used in React frameworks, allowing developers to write HTML-like code within JavaScript for defining and structuring user interface components efficiently. It gets transpiled into regular JavaScript for browser compatibility.
Reactivity refers to the ability of UI to automatically update in response to changes in underlying data, ensuring real-time synchronization and a dynamic user experience. It’s a crucial concept in UIX for building interactive and responsive applications.
RSA is a widely used asymmetric encryption algorithm that uses a pair of keys (public and private) for secure data transmission and digital signatures. It’s named after its inventors and is based on the mathematical difficulty of factoring large composite numbers.
SCSS is a CSS preprocessor that adds powerful features like variables, nesting, and mixins to standard CSS, making styling more organized and efficient in web development projects. It compiles into regular CSS for browser interpretation.
The Shadow DOM is a web standard that encapsulates elements and their styles within a scoped boundary, allowing developers to create isolated and reusable components with encapsulated styling and behavior. It’s particularly useful for building web components that don’t interfere with the rest of the page’s styling or JavaScript.
With server-side rendering, applications (websites) are not rendered in the browser, but are created and rendered on the server. This allows for speed and performance gains.
The Supranet is unyt.org’s innovative decentralized peer-to-peer network that empowers individuals to engage in secure, discreet conversations and closes the gap betweem systems. The DATEX protocol serves as the backbone for the Supranet.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing and advanced tooling, aiding in the development of more robust and maintainable web applications by catching errors and providing better code organization during development. It compiles to plain JavaScript for browser execution.
UI refers to the visual and interactive elements of UIX application that users interact with, encompassing layouts like buttons, forms, and other components designed for seamless user experiences and effective communication of information.
UIX is unyt.org’s full-stack web framework for the next generation of web development. UIX combines advanced technologies and allows developers to merge distributed application on the Supranet.
Web Components are a set of web platform features that enable the creation of reusable, encapsulated, and customizable HTML elements with their own styles and behaviors, promoting modular and maintainable web development. They consist of Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML Templates.
