-What are some common file types used in web applications?

 Files are classified based on their content and structure. The file type determines how a file is opened and processed by computer programs.

 We identify file types based on their extensions. A file extension is a three or four letter suffix at the end of the file name. The three main file types that you will find in web applications are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
