What is client-side scripting?

Client-side scripting refers to code (usually JavaScript) that runs in a web browser, rather than on a web server. It's primarily used to create dynamic and interactive user interfaces, handle user input, manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) to modify the content and structure of a web page, and communicate with web servers asynchronously (e.g., using AJAX) to update parts of a page without requiring a full page reload.
