  The web is the most prominent application platform globally, thanks to its
vast user base. It started as a site platform in the 90s and morphed into an
application one over time as interactive web applications became a reality.
So-called single-page applications (SPAs) represent the current mainstream way
of developing web applications but they come with their drawbacks. Although
SPAs provide good developer experience, there is a cost for the users due to
the underlying technical assumptions. Disappearing frameworks question these
assumptions and provide a fresh start. The purpose of this short book is to
give a quick introduction to disappearing frameworks and show their meaning as
an emerging topic within the space of web application development.
