The World Wide Web is an information system consisting of interconnected documents and resources accessed via the Internet. It operates on a decentralized architecture, utilizing standardized protocols, most notably Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), to facilitate the retrieval and display of linked content. This system allows users to navigate between diverse sources through Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and hyperlinks, creating a vast global repository of digital information. Functionally, it represents the most common method of accessing and sharing hypermedia content, forming the basis for modern online communication, commerce, and knowledge dissemination.
