How can I implement web workers in my web application?

To implement web workers, you first need to create a separate JavaScript file for the worker. Then, in your main script, you can create a new worker instance using new Worker('worker.js'). This allows you to run scripts in background threads.

What kind of tasks are suitable for web workers?

Web workers are ideal for tasks that are computationally intensive, such as image processing, data manipulation, or any operation that would otherwise block the main thread and affect UI responsiveness.

How do I communicate with a web worker?

You can communicate with a web worker using the postMessage method to send data to the worker, and the worker can send messages back using the same method.

Are there any limitations to using web workers?

Yes, web workers have some limitations, such as not having access to the DOM, and they can only communicate with the main thread via message passing.
