The Touch Events API is a web technology that allows developers to handle touch interactions on devices like smartphones and tablets. It provides a way to detect and respond to touch gestures, such as tapping, swiping, and pinching, enabling a more interactive user experience. This API is particularly useful for creating mobile-friendly applications and websites. The API consists of several event types, including touchstart, touchmove, and touchend, which correspond to different stages of a touch interaction. By using these events, developers can track the position and movement of fingers on the screen, allowing for dynamic content manipulation and enhanced navigation.
