Web Serial API

The Web Serial API allows web applications to communicate directly with serial devices—like microcontrollers, sensors, or other hardware—over a serial connection, typically via USB. It enables websites to read data from and send commands to connected hardware in real-time, expanding web capabilities beyond browsing to include hardware control and data exchange. This API is useful for developers creating web-based interfaces for hardware projects, offering a secure way to connect devices directly to web pages without needing additional software. It promotes easier integration of hardware with web technologies, bridging the gap between online applications and physical devices.
