UNIT-1
1. Compare HTML and XHTML.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and XHTML (Extensible Hypertext
Markup Language) are both markup languages used to create web pages, but they
have some key differences:
1. Syntax: HTML has a more lenient syntax compared to XHTML. HTML allows
for certain syntax errors, such as unclosed tags or attributes without values,
without causing issues in rendering. XHTML, on the other hand, follows stricter
XML rules, requiring all tags to be properly nested and closed.
2. XML Compliance: XHTML is a reformulation of HTML as an XML
application. This means that XHTML documents must conform to XML syntax
rules, such as having a root element and all tags being lowercase. HTML does not
require XML compliance.
3. DOCTYPE Declaration: In HTML, the DOCTYPE declaration is optional
and often omitted. In XHTML, it is mandatory and must be the first line of the
document. The DOCTYPE declaration specifies the version of XHTML being
used and helps browsers render the page correctly.
4. Case Sensitivity: XHTML is case-sensitive, while HTML is not. In XHTML,
all tag and attribute names must be written in lowercase.
5. Quotation Marks: XHTML requires attribute values to be enclosed in
quotation marks (either single or double quotes), while HTML does not strictly
enforce this rule.
6. Character Encoding: XHTML documents must specify a character encoding,
typically using the `<meta>` tag or the HTTP Content-Type header. HTML
documents can omit the character encoding declaration, but it's considered best
practice to include it.
7. Self-Closing Tags: In XHTML, empty elements must be self-closed with a
slash at the end of the tag (e.g., `<br />`). While HTML allows this syntax, it's not
required.
8. Parsing: XHTML is parsed as XML, which means that browsers will stop
rendering the page if they encounter syntax errors. HTML parsers, on the other
hand, are more forgiving and will try to render the page even if there are errors.
In summary, XHTML is a stricter and more standardized version of HTML,
designed to be compatible with XML. While XHTML has advantages in terms of
standardization and compatibility with XML tools, HTML is more forgiving and
easier to write for many developers. However, with the introduction of HTML5,
many of the distinctions between HTML and XHTML have become blurred, as
HTML5 allows for a mix of HTML and XML syntax.

2. Analyse HTTP and WWW


HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and WWW (World Wide Web) are
foundational components of the modern internet, working together to enable the
exchange of information across the web. Here's an analysis of both:
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol):
1. Definition: HTTP is an application layer protocol used for transmitting
hypermedia documents, such as HTML files, over the internet. It governs the
communication between web clients (such as browsers) and web servers.
2. Client-Server Model: HTTP operates on a client-server model, where a client
(such as a web browser) sends requests to a server, and the server responds with
the requested resources (such as web pages, images, or files).
3. Stateless Protocol: HTTP is stateless, meaning that each request from the
client is processed independently by the server without any knowledge of
previous requests. This simplifies implementation but requires additional
mechanisms like cookies or sessions for maintaining state between requests.
4. Request-Response Cycle: HTTP requests consist of methods (such as GET,
POST, PUT, DELETE) sent by the client to specify the action to be performed,
along with headers providing additional information. The server responds with
status codes indicating the outcome of the request, along with the requested
content and headers.
5. Text-Based Protocol: HTTP messages are text-based, making them human-
readable and facilitating debugging and development. However, this also means
that HTTP lacks built-in encryption and is vulnerable to eavesdropping and
tampering.
6. Extensions and Enhancements: Over time, various extensions and
enhancements have been introduced to HTTP to improve performance, security,
and functionality. Examples include HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 (based on
QUIC).
WWW (World Wide Web):
1. Definition: The World Wide Web, commonly referred to as the web, is a system
of interlinked hypertext documents and resources accessible via the internet. It
was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and popularized in the early 1990s.
2. Hypermedia System: The WWW enables the creation, dissemination, and
retrieval of hypertext documents, which can contain links to other documents,
images, videos, or other media types. This interconnected structure forms the
basis of the web's navigation.
3. Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs): Every resource on the web is
identified by a unique URI, such as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or URN
(Uniform Resource Name). URLs specify the location of a resource, allowing
users to access it via web browsers or other HTTP clients.
4. Decentralized Architecture: The web operates on a decentralized
architecture, with millions of interconnected web servers and clients distributed
worldwide. This decentralization contributes to the web's resilience and
scalability.
5. Standards and Protocols: The WWW is built on open standards and
protocols, including HTTP for communication, HTML for document markup,
CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. These standards enable
interoperability and compatibility across different platforms and devices.
6. Evolution and Growth: The WWW has evolved significantly since its
inception, with advancements in technology, standards, and user experience. This
evolution has led to the emergence of dynamic web applications, multimedia
content, social networking, e-commerce, and other innovative web services.
In summary, HTTP and WWW are closely related components of the internet
ecosystem, with HTTP serving as the communication protocol for transferring
hypertext documents and resources across the web, and the WWW providing the
infrastructure and framework for accessing, sharing, and navigating these
resources in a decentralized and interconnected manner.
OR
Most people get confused between HTTP and WWW. Even though they are a part
of the website URL, they mean different things in the internet language. Both
have specific roles to play in association with a website. However, both have their
own set of pros and cons, which is the reason why website owners pick either one
for their site.
HTTP
HTTP is short for ‘hypertext transfer protocol’. It offers a set of limited rules
that help to govern how information can transfer on the internet.
It provides set regulations for all servers in the web space to communicate by
defining how you can format the message. It also describes how different
browsers should take action in response to various commands.
HTTP is mainly an application layer network protocol that is built on the
TCP. It uses the hypertext structure and text that helps to establish a logical link
between nodes, which contains the text.
It’s also called a stateless protocol, wherein each command can execute
separately without using references. The main difference between HTTP and
WWW is; HTTP is a link and WWW is a web address.
HTTP protocol transfers data from one website to the other website and the
design of HTTP facilitates easy access to WWW. The protocol also transfers
data in different forms like – plain, audio, and video.
HTTP makes a rapid shift from one environment to another and from one
document to another. The focus of HTTP is presenting the information, regardless
of the way information travels from one place to another.
Pros of HTTP
• HTTP can be implemented with all networks or protocols on the
internet.
• All web pages are stored on the internet caches or computer, so you'll
be able to access them anytime. HTTP does not need any runtime
support, so it does save your time.
• Complete platform independence allows for cross-platform porting.
• You'll use HTTP over firewalls which is its most significant advantage
in terms of security.
• Global applications are indeed possible with HTTP. It is non-connected
oriented, so you don't have to create overheads to maintain its information
and session state.
Cons of HTTP
• The biggest disadvantage of HTTP is; it has privacy issues, so anyone
can see the content and access pages.
• Data integrity is the biggest issue because people can make changes on
the website or web page. That's the reason HTTP protocol is not as secure
as HTTPS. There is no encryption in HTTP.
• For security reasons, most people prefer HTTPS over HTTP as it
offers complete security encryption.
• There is also no clarity in communication at times, so any person who
intercepts the request can get the username and password, which can pose
an added threat.
WWW
WWW is short for ‘World Wide Web’. It is a vast collection of websites stored
on web servers that lets you connect to local computers via the internet.
The websites on WWW contain text pages, audio, videos, and digital images.
The users can access these sites from any part of the world by using
computers, tablets, or smartphones.
In simple terms, WWW enables the display of media and text into your
primary devices. WWW connects to a web page that is the address, which
you type in the address bar while searching for a website.
A web page works on a URL, which is an online address for users. A
collection of the web page that belongs to a specific URL is the website. The
World Wide Web is a massive network with pages stored on many servers
across the world.
World Wide Web follows a hypertext link that lets you visit from one web page
to another. Most small websites store their web pages on a shared server. More
prominent websites store their web pages on a single server.
Pros of WWW
• You can access WWW from any location globally.
• It enables you to make online purchases and digital transactions from
any location.
• You'll be able to communicate with people through chats, text, and
emails.
• You'll be able to market and brand your product using the power of
WWW as it gives you unlimited access to information on the internet.
Cons of WWW
• With easy access to information through WWW, there may be a
potential risk of theft. There may be instances of cyberbullying. There
is a use of cookies to collect customer information, which can invite
spam.
• With WWW, the chance of fake news is higher. In some cases, a user
may post your public information like name and phone number on the
internet.
• The web includes all types of content, which includes content that may
be inappropriate for some users.
• Device hacking is another disadvantage of WWW along with the risk of
virus integration on exchange.
3. Analyse Style Rule Cascading and Inheritance in CSS
In CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), style rule cascading and inheritance are
fundamental concepts that govern how styles are applied to HTML elements
within a web page. Let's analyze each of these concepts:
Cascading:
1. Definition: Cascading refers to the process by which multiple CSS style rules
that target the same HTML element are applied, leading to a final computed style
for that element.
2. Specificity: CSS rules have different levels of specificity, which determines
their importance in the cascade. Specificity is calculated based on the
combination of selectors used in a rule. For example, an ID selector (`#example`)
has higher specificity than a class selector (`.example`) or an element selector
(`div`).
3. Order of Importance: In case of conflicting rules targeting the same element,
the rule with the highest specificity takes precedence. If specificity is equal, the
order of the rules in the CSS file determines which one wins, with rules defined
later in the file overriding earlier ones.
4. Inline Styles: Styles applied directly to HTML elements using the `style`
attribute have the highest specificity and will override any conflicting styles
defined in external or internal stylesheets.
5. Importance: The `!important` declaration can be added to a CSS rule to give
it higher importance in the cascade, making it override other rules regardless of
specificity. However, the use of `!important` is generally discouraged due to its
potential to create specificity wars and make styles harder to maintain.
/* More specific selector */
#id {
/* Styles */
}

/* Less specific selector */


.class {
/* Styles */
}
Inheritance:
1. Definition: Inheritance refers to the mechanism by which certain CSS
properties of a parent element are passed down to its child elements.
2. Inherited Properties: Not all CSS properties are inherited. Only specific
properties, such as font properties (`font-family`, `font-size`, `font-weight`, etc.),
text properties (`color`, `line-height`, etc.), and some others like `opacity`, are
inherited by default.
3. Non-inherited Properties: Properties related to layout and positioning, such
as `width`, `height`, `margin`, `padding`, etc., are not inherited by child elements.
4. Overriding Inherited Properties: Child elements can override inherited
properties by explicitly defining those properties with different values. This
allows for fine-grained control over the appearance of individual elements within
a document.
5. Resetting Inheritance: The `inherit` keyword can be used to explicitly force
an element to inherit a property from its parent, even if that property has been
overridden further up the cascade.
In summary, style rule cascading and inheritance are core principles of CSS that
determine how styles are applied and inherited by HTML elements within a
document. Understanding these concepts is essential for creating well-structured,
maintainable, and predictable stylesheets.
Syntax:
/* Parent selector */
body {
/* Styles */
}
/* Child selector */
p{
/* Styles */
}
4. What is an XML DOM. How DOM parses the XML file.
XML DOM (Document Object Model) is a programming interface for XML
documents. It represents the structure of an XML document as a tree of objects,
where each node in the tree corresponds to a part of the XML document, such as
elements, attributes, and text nodes. The XML DOM provides methods and
properties for accessing and manipulating these nodes, allowing developers to
dynamically update and interact with XML documents using scripting languages
like JavaScript.
Here's how the XML DOM parses an XML file:
1. Parsing: The process begins with parsing the XML file, which involves
reading the file's contents and breaking it down into its constituent parts, such as
elements, attributes, and text.
2. Creation of Node Objects: As the XML file is parsed, the XML DOM creates
corresponding node objects for each part of the document. For example, element
nodes represent XML elements, attribute nodes represent attributes, and text
nodes represent text content.
3. Construction of the DOM Tree: The parsed XML document is represented as
a hierarchical tree structure, with each node in the tree representing a different
part of the document. The root of the tree is typically a document node, which
contains all other nodes as its children.
4. Traversal and Navigation: Once the DOM tree is constructed, developers can
traverse and navigate the tree using various DOM methods and properties. For
example, they can access child nodes, sibling nodes, parent nodes, or descendents
of a given node.
5. Accessing and Manipulating Nodes: Developers can access and manipulate
the content of XML nodes using DOM methods and properties. For example, they
can retrieve the value of an attribute, modify the text content of an element, or
add new elements to the document.
6. Event Handling: The XML DOM also provides support for event handling,
allowing developers to register event listeners for specific events, such as node
insertion, removal, or modification. When an event occurs, the corresponding
event handler function is executed, allowing developers to respond to changes in
the XML document dynamically.
Overall, the XML DOM provides a powerful and flexible way to interact with
XML documents in a programming environment, enabling developers to create
dynamic, data-driven applications that manipulate XML data in real-time.
OR

DOM (Document Object Model)

A DOM document is an object which contains all the information of an XML


document. It is composed like a tree structure. The DOM Parser implements
a DOM API. This API is very simple to use.

5. What is SAX? Write Advantages, Disadvantages and Features of SAX


parse.
SAX (Simple API for XML) is an event-driven, stream-based XML parsing
technology commonly used in Java and other programming languages. Instead of
loading the entire XML document into memory like the DOM (Document Object
Model) parser, SAX parses the XML document sequentially, generating events as
it encounters different parts of the document.
Advantages of SAX:
1. Memory Efficiency: SAX parsers are memory efficient because they do not
need to load the entire XML document into memory. Instead, they process the
document sequentially, which is beneficial for handling large XML files or when
memory resources are limited.
2. Fast Parsing: SAX parsing is generally faster than DOM parsing, especially
for large XML documents, because it processes the document in a linear,
sequential manner without building a tree structure in memory.
3. Low Overhead: SAX parsers have low memory overhead since they don't need
to store the entire document structure in memory. They only keep track of the
current position in the document and the state of the parsing process.
4. Event-Driven Model: SAX follows an event-driven model where it generates
events as it parses the XML document. This allows developers to handle specific
events, such as the start and end of elements, text content, and attribute values,
using event handlers or callbacks.
5. Real-Time Processing: SAX parsing is suitable for real-time processing
scenarios where XML data is continuously streamed or where immediate
processing of XML events is required.
Disadvantages of SAX:
1. Complexity: SAX parsers can be more complex to use than DOM parsers
because developers need to implement event handlers or callbacks to process
specific XML events. This can make the code harder to read and maintain,
especially for complex parsing tasks.
2. Limited Functionality: SAX parsers are limited in functionality compared to
DOM parsers. Since SAX parsers do not build a tree structure of the entire
document, they do not support operations like random access to nodes or
manipulation of the document structure.
3. Inability to Modify Document: SAX parsers are read-only, meaning they
cannot modify the XML document. While developers can extract and process data
from the document, they cannot make changes to the document itself.
Features of SAX parse:
1. Event-Driven Parsing: SAX parsers generate events as they encounter
different parts of the XML document, such as start and end elements, text content,
and attribute values.
2. Sequential Processing: SAX parses the XML document sequentially,
processing one element at a time without loading the entire document into
memory.
3. Callback Mechanism: Developers can register event handlers or callbacks to
handle specific XML events generated by the SAX parser.
4. Low Memory Footprint: SAX parsers have a low memory footprint because
they do not store the entire document structure in memory.
5. Suitable for Large Documents: SAX parsing is suitable for handling large
XML documents or scenarios where memory resources are limited, as it does not
require loading the entire document into memory.

6. What are the limitations of Document Type Definitions (DTDs)? How


these limitations are overcome using XML schema?
Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and XML Schema are both used for defining
the structure and constraints of XML documents, but they have some differences
in terms of capabilities and limitations. Let's explore the limitations of DTDs and
how XML Schema overcomes them:
Limitations of Document Type Definitions (DTDs):
1. Limited Datatypes: DTDs have limited support for defining datatypes. They
can only specify simple datatypes like string, integer, and enumerations, but lack
support for complex datatypes like date, time, or regular expressions.
2. No Namespace Support: DTDs do not support XML namespaces, which are
used to avoid naming conflicts between elements from different vocabularies.
This makes it difficult to validate XML documents that use namespaces.
3. No Element Content Constraints: DTDs have limitations in expressing
constraints on element content, such as minimum and maximum occurrences of
child elements or the order of child elements. They cannot express complex
content models like sequences, choices, or groups.
4. Lack of Modularity: DTDs do not support modularity, making it challenging
to reuse and organize schema definitions across multiple documents. Changes to
a DTD can have ripple effects on all documents that reference it.
How XML Schema Overcomes These Limitations:
1. Enhanced Datatype Support: XML Schema provides a rich set of built-in
datatypes for expressing a wide range of data types, including strings, numbers,
dates, times, and regular expressions. Additionally, XML Schema allows users to
define custom datatypes using regular expressions or by extending existing types.
2. Namespace Support: XML Schema fully supports XML namespaces,
allowing developers to define schema components within specific namespaces
and validate XML documents that use namespaces effectively.
3. Advanced Content Constraints: XML Schema offers advanced mechanisms
for expressing constraints on element content, including the ability to specify
minimum and maximum occurrences of child elements, define complex content
models using sequences, choices, and groups, and enforce order constraints on
child elements.
4. Modularity and Reusability: XML Schema supports modularity and
reusability through mechanisms like import, include, and redefine. This allows
schema components to be organized into separate files, reused across multiple
documents, and extended or overridden as needed without affecting other parts
of the schema.
5. Documentation Support: XML Schema provides built-in support for adding
documentation to schema components, making it easier for developers to
understand the purpose and usage of different elements and attributes within the
schema.
UNIT-II
1. Discuss about JScripts objects.
JavaScript (often abbreviated as JS) is a versatile programming language used
primarily for client-side web development. In JavaScript, objects play a central
role in organizing and representing data. Objects are collections of key-value
pairs where values can be primitives, other objects, or functions. JavaScript
provides several built-in objects that serve various purposes. Here are some of the
key JavaScript objects:
1. Global Object: The global object represents the global namespace in
JavaScript. In web browsers, the global object is the `window` object, which
represents the browser window and serves as the global scope for variables and
functions.
2. Object: The `Object` object is a core built-in object in JavaScript, used to
create and manipulate objects. It provides methods for creating new objects,
defining properties and methods, and performing operations on objects.
3. Array: The `Array` object is used to store and manipulate arrays, which are
ordered collections of elements. It provides methods for adding, removing, and
manipulating array elements, as well as iterating over array elements.
4. String: The `String` object represents a sequence of characters and provides
methods for working with strings, such as concatenation, substring extraction,
searching, and manipulation.
5. Number: The `Number` object represents numeric values and provides
methods for performing arithmetic operations, formatting numbers, and
converting numbers to different representations (e.g., binary, hexadecimal).
6. Boolean: The `Boolean` object represents boolean values (`true` or `false`) and
provides methods for logical operations and boolean conversions.
7. Function: The `Function` object represents JavaScript functions and provides
methods for defining and invoking functions, as well as accessing function
properties and metadata.
8. Date: The `Date` object represents dates and times and provides methods for
working with dates, such as creating new dates, formatting dates, and performing
date arithmetic.
9. RegExp: The `RegExp` object represents regular expressions and provides
methods for creating and working with regular expressions, as well as searching
and replacing text based on patterns.
10. Math: The `Math` object provides mathematical constants and functions,
such as trigonometric functions, logarithmic functions, and random number
generation.
11. Error: The `Error` object represents runtime errors in JavaScript and provides
properties for accessing error details, such as error message, stack trace, and error
type.
These are just some of the built-in objects in JavaScript. Additionally, developers
can create custom objects using constructor functions, object literals, or ES6
classes to represent data structures, encapsulate functionality, and organize code
in JavaScript applications. Objects are fundamental to JavaScript programming
and play a key role in implementing various features and functionalities in web
applications.
2. Analyze Control Statements in Java script.
Control statements in JavaScript are used to control the flow of execution in a
program. They allow developers to make decisions, iterate over data, and perform
actions based on conditions. Here's an analysis of the main control statements in
JavaScript:
1. Conditional Statements:
- if Statement: The `if` statement executes a block of code if a specified
condition is true. It can be followed by an optional `else` statement to execute a
different block of code if the condition is false.
- else if Statement: The `else if` statement allows for multiple conditions to be
checked sequentially. It follows an initial `if` statement and executes a block of
code if its condition is true, provided that the preceding conditions are false.
- switch Statement: The `switch` statement evaluates an expression and
executes code blocks based on matching case labels. It provides a concise way to
handle multiple possible conditions and has an optional `default` case for code to
execute when none of the cases match.
2. Looping Statements:
- for Loop: The `for` loop repeats a block of code a specified number of times.
It consists of three optional expressions: initialization, condition, and iteration,
which are executed sequentially before each iteration of the loop.
- while Loop: The `while` loop repeats a block of code as long as a specified
condition is true. It evaluates the condition before each iteration of the loop, and
if the condition is false initially, the loop will not execute.
- do...while Loop: The `do...while` loop is similar to the `while` loop, but it
executes the block of code at least once before checking the condition. It evaluates
the condition after each iteration of the loop.
- for...in Loop: The `for...in` loop iterates over the properties of an object. It
assigns each property key to a variable and executes a block of code for each
property in the object.
- for...of Loop: The `for...of` loop iterates over the values of an iterable object,
such as arrays or strings. It assigns each value to a variable and executes a block
of code for each value in the iterable.
3. Jump Statements:
- break Statement: The `break` statement terminates the current loop, switch,
or labeled block and transfers control to the statement following the terminated
block.
- continue Statement: The `continue` statement skips the current iteration of a
loop and proceeds to the next iteration, effectively restarting the loop's control
flow.
- return Statement: The `return` statement ends the execution of a function
and specifies a value to be returned to the caller of the function.
Control statements are essential for implementing logic and decision-making in
JavaScript programs, allowing developers to create dynamic and interactive
applications. They provide the foundation for implementing complex algorithms,
iterating over data collections, handling user input, and responding to events in
web development.
3. Explain the architecture of angular framework
Angular is a popular front-end web framework developed and maintained by
Google. It's used for building single-page web applications (SPAs) and provides
a comprehensive set of tools and features for creating dynamic and interactive
user interfaces. The architecture of Angular is based on several key concepts and
components, which work together to provide a structured and scalable framework
for web development.
1. Components:
- Components are the building blocks of Angular applications. They
encapsulate the UI and behavior of a part of the application.
- Each component consists of a template (HTML), a class (TypeScript), and
optional styles (CSS).
- Components are organized in a hierarchical tree structure, where parent
components can contain child components.
2. Modules:
- Modules are containers for organizing the application into cohesive blocks of
functionality.
- Each Angular application has at least one root module, which is typically
named AppModule.
- Modules can import other modules, as well as declare and export components,
directives, pipes, and services.
3. Templates:
- Templates are HTML files that define the UI of a component.
- Templates can include Angular-specific syntax, such as interpolation ({{ }}),
directives (e.g., *ngFor, *ngIf), and binding syntax (e.g., [property], (event)).
- Angular compiles templates into executable JavaScript code, which is then
rendered in the browser.
4. Directives:
- Directives are markers on a DOM element that tell Angular to do something
with that element or its children.
- Angular provides built-in directives like ngIf, ngFor, and ngModel, as well as
the ability to create custom directives.
5. Services:
- Services are reusable pieces of code that provide functionality shared across
multiple components.
- Services are typically used for tasks like fetching data from a server, logging,
or sharing state between components.
- Services are singleton objects, meaning there is only one instance of each
service in the application.
6. Dependency Injection (DI):
- Angular's DI system is used to provide components with the services they
depend on.
- DI makes components more modular, testable, and easier to maintain by
decoupling them from their dependencies.
- Angular's injector hierarchy allows for hierarchical injection, where
dependencies can be provided at different levels of the application.
7. Routing:
- Angular's router allows for navigation between different views (or
components) of the application.
- Routing is configured using route definitions, which map URL paths to
component views.
- Angular's router supports features like nested routes, lazy loading, route
guards, and parameterized routes.
8. Lifecycle Hooks:
- Angular components have a lifecycle, consisting of various stages like
creation, rendering, and destruction.
- Angular provides lifecycle hooks, such as ngOnInit, ngOnDestroy, and
ngOnChanges, which allow components to hook into these lifecycle stages and
perform tasks accordingly.
9. HTTP Client:
- Angular provides an HTTP client module for making HTTP requests to
servers.
- The HTTP client module allows for handling HTTP operations
asynchronously and provides features like request/response interception, error
handling, and observables for handling asynchronous data streams.
4. Illustrate the procedure to create Angular Service.
To create an Angular service, you can follow these steps:
1. Generate a New Service:
Use Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) to generate a new service. Open
your terminal or command prompt and navigate to your Angular project directory.
Then, run the following command:
ng generate service my-service
Replace `my-service` with the name you want to give to your service. This
command will generate a new service file (`my-service.service.ts`) and add it to
the `src/app` directory of your Angular project.
2. Define the Service Class:
Open the generated service file (`my-service.service.ts`) in your code editor.
The generated service file contains a TypeScript class with the name `MyService`.
This class will serve as your service. Inside this class, you can define methods
and properties that provide the functionality you need.
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class MyService {
constructor() { }

// Define methods and properties here


}
3. Inject Dependencies (if needed):
If your service depends on other services or dependencies, you can inject them
into the constructor of your service class. Angular's dependency injection system
will take care of providing instances of these dependencies when your service is
instantiated.
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class MyService {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
// Use the http service here
}
4. Implement Service Functionality:
Implement the functionality of your service by adding methods and properties
to the service class. These methods can perform tasks such as fetching data from
a server, processing data, or providing shared functionality to other parts of your
Angular application.
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class MyService {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
getData(): Observable<any> {
return this.http.get<any>('https://api.example.com/data');
}
}
5. Inject the Service into Components or Other Services:
Once your service is defined, you can inject it into Angular components, other
services, or any other Angular constructs where you need to use its functionality.
To inject a service into a component, you can include it in the component's
constructor.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MyService } from './my-service.service';
@Component({
selector: 'app-my-component',
templateUrl: './my-component.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./my-component.component.css']
})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private myService: MyService) { }
ngOnInit(): void {
this.myService.getData().subscribe(data => {
console.log(data);
});
}
}
6. Use the Service:
Finally, you can use the methods and properties of your service wherever you
need them within your Angular application. In the example above, we called the
`getData()` method of the `MyService` service within the `ngOnInit()` lifecycle
hook of a component to fetch data from a remote server.
By following these steps, you can create and use Angular services to provide
shared functionality, data, or operations within your Angular application. Services
play a crucial role in keeping your application organized, modular, and
maintainable.
5. Describe MVC in reference to angular.
In the context of Angular, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture is
often interpreted as the Model-View-Component (MVC) architecture. While
MVC and MVC have similar concepts, Angular's architecture aligns more closely
with MVC. Here's how MVC is typically interpreted in reference to Angular:
1. Model (M):
- The Model represents the data and business logic of the application.
- In Angular, services often serve as the Model. Services are responsible for
fetching data from external sources, processing data, and providing it to
components.
- Services encapsulate data-related operations and provide a way to share data
and functionality across multiple components.
2. View (V):
- The View represents the UI (User Interface) of the application that the user
interacts with.
- In Angular, components are responsible for the View layer. Each component
has an associated template (HTML) that defines the UI structure and layout.
- Components encapsulate the presentation logic and render the UI based on the
data provided by the Model (via services).
3. Controller (C):
- The Controller acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View,
handling user input and updating the Model or View accordingly.
- In Angular, the Controller role is split between the component class and the
template.
- The component class serves as the controller, containing the logic for handling
user input, processing data, and interacting with services.
- Angular's data binding mechanism enables automatic synchronization
between the View (template) and the Model (component class), reducing the need
for explicit controller logic.
In summary, in the context of Angular, the MVC architecture is represented as
Model-View-Component, where services serve as the Model, components
represent the View, and the component class acts as the Controller. This
architecture provides a structured and modular approach to building web
applications, separating concerns and promoting reusability, maintainability, and
testability.

6. How to create data objects using Java Script?


In JavaScript, you can create data objects using various methods and techniques.
Here are some common ways to create data objects:
1. Object Literal:
You can create an object using object literal notation, which involves enclosing
key-value pairs within curly braces `{}`.

const person = {
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Doe",
age: 30
};

2. Constructor Function:
You can define a constructor function to create objects with similar properties
and behaviors. Constructor functions use the `new` keyword to instantiate new
objects.
function Person(firstName, lastName, age) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.age = age;
}
const person1 = new Person("John", "Doe", 30);
const person2 = new Person("Jane", "Smith", 25);

3. Object.create():
You can use the `Object.create()` method to create a new object with a specified
prototype object.

const personProto = {
greeting: function() {
return `Hello, my name is ${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}.`;
}
};
const person = Object.create(personProto);
person.firstName = "John";
person.lastName = "Doe";
person.age = 30;
console.log(person.greeting()); // Output: Hello, my name is John Doe.
4. Class Syntax (ES6):
You can use the class syntax introduced in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) to define
classes and create objects using the `new` keyword.

class Person {
constructor(firstName, lastName, age) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.age = age;
}
greeting() {
return `Hello, my name is ${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}.`;
}
}
const person1 = new Person("John", "Doe", 30);
const person2 = new Person("Jane", "Smith", 25);
console.log(person1.greeting()); // Output: Hello, my name is John Doe.
console.log(person2.greeting()); // Output: Hello, my name is Jane Smith.
5. Factory Function:
You can create objects using factory functions, which are functions that return
new object instances.

function createPerson(firstName, lastName, age) {


return {
firstName: firstName,
lastName: lastName,
age: age,
greeting: function() {
return `Hello, my name is ${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}.`;
}
};
}
const person1 = createPerson("John", "Doe", 30);
const person2 = createPerson("Jane", "Smith", 25);
console.log(person1.greeting()); // Output: Hello, my name is John Doe.
console.log(person2.greeting()); // Output: Hello, my name is Jane Smith.
These are some of the common ways to create data objects in JavaScript. Each
method has its own advantages and use cases, so choose the one that best fits your
needs and coding style.
UNIT-III
1. Write a short notes on types of modules in Node.js
In Node.js, modules are reusable blocks of code that encapsulate functionality
and promote code organization, reusability, and maintainability. There are
different types of modules in Node.js, each serving different purposes and use
cases. Here's an overview of the types of modules in Node.js:
1. Core Modules:
- Core modules are built-in modules provided by Node.js.
- These modules are part of the Node.js runtime and are available globally
without the need for installation.
- Examples of core modules include `fs` (file system), `http` (HTTP
server/client), `path` (path manipulation), and `util` (utility functions).
- Core modules are accessed using the `require()` function without
specifying a path, such as `require('http')`.
2. Local Modules:
- Local modules are user-defined modules created by developers to
encapsulate specific functionality.
- Each local module resides in its own file and can export functions, objects,
or other values to be used by other parts of the application.
- Local modules are accessed using the `require()` function with a relative
or absolute path to the module file, such as `require('./myModule')`.
3. Third-Party Modules:
- Third-party modules are modules created by external developers or
organizations and published on npm (Node Package Manager), the official
package registry for Node.js.
- These modules provide additional functionality that extends the
capabilities of Node.js.
- Third-party modules are installed using npm or yarn, and then accessed
using the `require()` function like local modules, such as `require('lodash')`.
4. ES6 Modules (ECMAScript Modules):
- ES6 modules are a standardized module system introduced in
ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) and supported in Node.js starting from version 12.
- ES6 modules use `import` and `export` statements to define dependencies
and expose functionality between modules.
- ES6 modules provide a more modern and flexible module system
compared to the CommonJS pattern used by Node.js.
- ES6 modules are accessed using `import` and `export` statements, such as
`import myModule from './myModule.js'`.
Each type of module in Node.js has its own advantages and use cases. Core
modules provide essential functionality out of the box, while local and third-party
modules allow developers to organize and extend their applications with custom
functionality. ES6 modules offer a modern and standardized module system for
projects that leverage newer JavaScript features. Understanding the different
types of modules in Node.js is essential for building modular and scalable
applications.
2. How does node.js work ? why node.js is single threaded ? Explain
elaborately with neat diagram?
Node.js is a runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code
on the server-side. It is built on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is the same
engine that powers Google Chrome. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking
I/O model that makes it lightweight, efficient, and suitable for building scalable
network applications.
How Node.js Works:
1. Event-Driven Architecture:
- Node.js operates on an event-driven architecture, where certain actions
or events trigger the execution of callback functions.
- It uses an event loop to handle asynchronous operations and execute
callback functions in response to events.
- Asynchronous operations, such as reading from a file or making an HTTP
request, do not block the event loop, allowing Node.js to handle multiple
requests concurrently.
2. Non-Blocking I/O:
- Node.js employs a non-blocking I/O model, which means that I/O
operations (such as reading from or writing to files, network communication, or
database queries) do not block the execution of JavaScript code.
- Instead of waiting for I/O operations to complete, Node.js continues
executing other code, and once the I/O operation is finished, it triggers the
corresponding callback function.
3. Single-Threaded Event Loop:
- Node.js runs JavaScript code in a single-threaded event loop.
- The event loop continuously checks for new events and executes the
corresponding callback functions in a loop.
- While one operation is being executed, the event loop can handle other
events and incoming requests without being blocked.
Why Node.js is Single-Threaded:
1. Simplicity:
- A single-threaded architecture simplifies the programming model and
reduces complexity, making it easier for developers to write and maintain
code.
- Developers don't need to worry about managing multiple threads, thread
synchronization, or race conditions.
2. Efficiency:
- Node.js is designed for high concurrency and scalability, allowing it to
handle thousands of concurrent connections with minimal resource usage.
- By avoiding the overhead of managing multiple threads, Node.js can handle
I/O-bound tasks efficiently and maximize throughput.
3. JavaScript Execution Model:
- JavaScript itself is inherently single-threaded, meaning that JavaScript code
is executed sequentially in a single thread of execution.
- Node.js leverages this single-threaded execution model to provide a
consistent and predictable programming environment for JavaScript
developers.
Diagram:
```
+-----------------------+ +---------------------+
| Event Loop | | I/O Operations |
+-----------------------+ +---------------------+
| Check for Events | ----> | Non-Blocking |
+-----------------------+ | I/O |
| Execute Callbacks | <---- | Operations |
+-----------------------+ +---------------------+
| Idle, Wait | | Callback Queue |
+-----------------------+ +---------------------+
```
- The event loop continuously checks for events (such as incoming requests,
timers, or I/O events) and executes the corresponding callback functions.
- Asynchronous I/O operations, such as file I/O or network requests, are
handled in a non-blocking manner, allowing the event loop to handle
multiple operations concurrently.
- Callback functions are queued up in the callback queue once their
corresponding asynchronous operations complete. The event loop dequeues and
executes these callback functions when the call stack is empty.
- The event loop operates in a single thread, ensuring that JavaScript code is
executed sequentially and preventing blocking operations from affecting the
responsiveness of the application.
In summary, Node.js employs a single-threaded, event-driven, non-blocking
architecture to provide high concurrency, scalability, and efficiency for building
server-side applications. This architecture allows Node.js to handle large numbers
of concurrent connections with minimal resource usage and provides a
straightforward and predictable programming model for JavaScript developers.
OR
Working of Node.js: Node.js accepts the request from the clients and sends the
response, while working with the request node.js handles them with a single
thread. To operate I/O operations or requests node.js use the concept of threads.
Thread is a sequence of instructions that the server needs to perform. It runs
parallel on the server to provide the information to multiple clients. Node.js is
an event loop single-threaded language. It can handle concurrent requests with
a single thread without blocking it for one request.
Single thread: Node JS Platform doesn’t follow the Multi-Threaded
Request/Response Stateless Model. It follows the Single-Threaded with Event
Loop Model. Node JS Processing model mainly inspired by JavaScript Event-
based model with JavaScript callback mechanism. Because of which Node.js
can handle more concurrent client requests with ease. The event loop is the heart
of the Node.js processing model as shown below diagram.

Node.js app/server single thread event loop model

Description of the diagram:


n = Number of requests by clients to the Node.js web server.
Lets assume they are accessing our Web Application built on top of Node.js
concurrently Clients are Client-1, Client-2 . . . Client-n.
m = number of threads in thread pool.
Advantages of Single-Threaded Event Loop over Multi-Threaded
Request/Response Stateless Model:
1. Can handle more & more concurrent client’s requests with ease.
2. Eliminates the need of creating more and more threads, because of the
Event loop.
3. Applications built on top of node.js use the least threads possible to
reduce memory or resource usage.
Reason behind node.js uses Single Threaded Event Loop Model
architecture:
• Initially, node.js was created as an experiment in asynchronous
processing and in theory was that doing asynchronous processing on a
single thread could provide more performance and scalability under
typical web loads than the typical thread-based implementation when
the application isn’t doing CPU intensive stuff and can run thousands
more concurrent connections than Apache or IIS or other thread-based
servers.
• The single-threaded, asynchronous nature of node.js does also make
things complicated but threading is worse than this in terms of time
taken to design an application, cost of development, deadlocks,
priority inversions, and all the other things that come in the life cycle
of an application.
• There is also a very well known and criticized issue with the one
thread per request model for a server which is that they don’t scale
very well for several scenarios compared to the event loop thread
model, in short, they lack scalability as the application grows to meet
the future demands and with the addition of new features.
• As Node.js follows Single-Threaded with Event Loop Model inspired
by JavaScript Event-based model with JavaScript callback
mechanism. So, node.js is single-threaded similar to JavaScript but not
purely JavaScript code which implies things that are done
asynchronously like network calls, file system tasks, DNS lookup, etc.
are actually not handled by the main thread and are in C++ as Ryan
Dahl is not a fan of JavaScript and also C++ has access to multiple
threads that makes it a better language for asynchronous tasks.

3. Write about advantages of express js.


Express.js is a minimalist and flexible web application framework for Node.js,

4. Explain the working of Node.js.


The working of Node.js can be understood by looking at its core features and
architecture. Node.js is built on the V8 JavaScript engine and uses an event-
driven, non-blocking I/O model, which makes it highly efficient and suitable for
building scalable network applications.
1. Event-Driven Architecture:
- Node.js operates on an event-driven architecture, where certain actions or
events (such as incoming HTTP requests, file I/O operations, or timer events)
trigger the execution of callback functions.
- It uses an event loop to handle asynchronous operations and execute callback
functions in response to events.
- Asynchronous operations do not block the event loop, allowing Node.js to
handle multiple requests concurrently without waiting for previous operations to
complete.
2. Non-Blocking I/O:
- Node.js employs a non-blocking I/O model, which means that I/O operations
(such as reading from or writing to files, network communication, or database
queries) do not block the execution of JavaScript code.
- Instead of waiting for I/O operations to complete, Node.js continues executing
other code, and once the I/O operation is finished, it triggers the corresponding
callback function to handle the result.
3. Single-Threaded Event Loop:
- Node.js runs JavaScript code in a single-threaded event loop, meaning that all
JavaScript code is executed sequentially in a single thread of execution.
- The event loop continuously checks for new events and executes the
corresponding callback functions in a loop.
- While one operation is being executed, the event loop can handle other events
and incoming requests without being blocked.
4. Core Modules and NPM Packages:
- Node.js provides a set of core modules (such as `http`, `fs`, `path`, `util`, etc.)
that offer built-in functionality for common tasks like creating web servers,
working with files and directories, and more.
- Additionally, Node.js has a vast ecosystem of third-party modules and
packages available through npm (Node Package Manager), which is the largest
package registry for JavaScript.
5. Server-Side Applications:
- Node.js is commonly used to build server-side applications, such as web
servers, RESTful APIs, real-time chat applications, and more.
- With its event-driven and non-blocking I/O model, Node.js can handle a large
number of concurrent connections efficiently, making it suitable for building
high-performance and scalable network applications.
6. Event Loop Phases:
- The event loop in Node.js consists of several phases, including timers, I/O
callbacks, idle, prepare, poll, check, and close callbacks.
- Each phase has a specific set of tasks to perform, such as processing timer
events, handling I/O events, executing callbacks, and more.
- The event loop progresses through these phases continuously, processing
events and executing callback functions as needed.
In summary, Node.js works by leveraging its event-driven, non-blocking I/O
architecture to handle asynchronous operations efficiently and execute JavaScript
code in a single-threaded event loop. This allows Node.js to achieve high
concurrency, scalability, and performance for building network applications.
