Top Trends and Technologies That Will Transform Web Development in 2022

Constant advancements in technologies mean a constant evolution of processes. Likewise, the introduction of innovative trends and technologies in web development creates the opportunity for websites to step on to the next level. They make web development reach for creating more dynamic, interactive, customized, fast, and user-friendly websites. 

We brought this up before the experts, and here are the top trends and technologies they believe are set to transform web development in 2022 and beyond.

Technology, I believe, will continue to evolve as humans discover new methods to innovate, accomplishing things faster and more creatively than before. There are few fields that have as much innovation as web development.

Developers are constantly on the lookout for new technologies that will propel them into a brighter future. Keeping up with these changes can be a challenge for many businesses. We've listed some of the important trends that will be significant in 2022 and beyond.

1. AI

Artificial intelligence has been infiltrating our digital lives for a few years, but as more businesses engage in technology, we're seeing tremendous advancements in what's possible. In particular, natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) have progressed from theoretical notions to practical applications.

It evaluates your current business procedures to see whether there is a way to start implementing AI/ML. With AI's assistance, many of your present business procedures may be automated, freeing up human resources for other duties. Incorporate AI-driven analytics into your marketing initiatives to unearth fresh information that will benefit your customers. Use AI-powered chatbots to answer staff queries, speed up onboarding, and propose resources as part of your internal operations.

2. Voice Search will Explode Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT)

For a long time, the internet of things (IoT) has held a lot of promise, but 2021 could be the year we really realize what it's capable of. This development could be attributed to two areas in particular: voice search and smart speakers. The development of these areas will have an impact on how everyone from developers to users interacts with search engines, necessitating changes in how developers and marketers work.

Schema Markup is a type of microdata that you may add to your website to give it a better description or rich snippet in search results. Structured Data is the industry standard for presenting information on a page, and it's how search engines interpret data. Expect increased attention to be placed on these areas as more searches are conducted using voice.

3. Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is definitely the new big thing in the world of web development. In blockchain technology, information is stored across various nodes in chunks instead of one or a few servers handling everything, so blockchain is not 'hosted' anywhere. The transactions, too, are monitored with the help of volunteers. 

The data is split up into tiny pieces, so if a hacker were to gain access, they would only get some part of the data. Blockchain can revolutionize web-hosting with its decentralized system allowing anyone with an internet connection to host Websites.

4. Increased Adoption of WebAssembly Technology

In 2022, we are likely to see the increased adoption of WebAssembly. With WebAssembly technology, developers can write code using their preferred programming language. Before this technology emerged, applications were mainly written in JavaScript, which would, on many occasions, lead to slow operations that would reduce the quality of user experience. WebAssembly technology allows for speedier code entry, freedom to choose the programming language one is comfortable with, and faster operations for applications that are computing-intensive.

5. Using Typescript To Build The Front-End

Despite the controversies surrounding this programming language, 2022 will see developers rely heavily on the use of TypeScript to build the front-end of applications. Its raging popularity is mainly because it entails fewer errors, the code is easy to understand, and you end up spending less time revising the code.

Each year, new web development trends and technologies are introduced, which you should keep up with as a CTO or CEO. Web development technologies that will rule in 2022:

6. AR/VR

In Perkins Coie's report, 39% of tech leaders believe that AR will become omnipresent by 2025. 

AR/VR can be used to create high-quality, robust, scalable, and productive web apps.

7. PWAs (Progressive Web Apps)

Online shoppers used mobile devices for 65% of their purchases in 2019. With PWA's rising popularity, users can view their favorite websites without the need to download any special apps.

8. Motion UI

Through the integration of custom animations and CSS transitions, Motion UI simplifies the use of digital products. Developers are able to reduce their development time and save money.

9. Cross-Platform Web Development Tools

Why? Consumers are using the web on more devices than ever: computers, phones, tablets, TVs, video game consoles, etc. Developers that accommodate this growing behavior will earn wider adoption and more user engagement. 

That's why the following frameworks are poised to become more and more popular:  

  • Ionic: with Ionic, you can develop web apps and deploy them as native apps across Android, iOS, and Windows app platforms. Rather than look for expertise across each platform, web developers can use ionic to reach users across all the major platforms. It also works very well with the following technologies;
  • Cypress: Cypress is a front-end testing tool built for the modern web. It operates directly in the browser, but it can be used for testing mobile applications that are developed in a browser, such as Ionic apps.  
  • Firebase: Firebase and firestore are powerful backends for web apps that are used across a variety of mobile and desktop/laptop form factors AND incorporate a multitude of authentication methods that users across these form factors may need. It's built with cross-platform users in mind and makes the data, storage, and service side of a web application simple and versatile.

10. Progressive Web Apps (PWA)

It is probably one of the most significant trends in web development. PWAs will improve the situation in 2022 by troubleshooting issues users hate about websites the most: poor experience, slow loading speed, and no offline access. PWAs deliver a swift experience: they send push notifications and provide users with offline access to cached content. 

It has already pushed the worldwide web forward, making the website browsing experience closer to native mobile applications. The world-known companies like Forbes, Twitter, Starbucks, and Spotify have already built a PWA, increasing user engagement and conversion rates.

11. Serverless Applications and Architecture

It is forecasted to be widely used for IoT apps and products that require complex backend requests. Serverless technology is the right way to keep the Internet environment more sustainable, strengthen apps with flexibility potential, avoid system overloading, data loss, or costly development. AWS Lambda, Google Functions, and Azure Functions will still be major serverless compute services in 2022. They provide the infrastructure and resources needed to create, run, and manage app features. Andrew Zanouski, Web Developer at Orangesoft
