Web Share Target API: One Byte Explainer ✍️

This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, One Byte Explainer: Browser API or Feature.

Explainer

The experimental Web Share Target API allows installed PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) to act as a content sharing target.

You use share_target entry in your web app manifest to register as a share target and appear in the system's share dialog.

Additional Context

As this is an experimental API, the adoption is low.

For more information visit the official specification draft, and the MDN docs
