A widget is a small, interactive element or component that can be added to a user interface, such as a website, the desktop, or an application, to provide specific functionality or information. Widgets are typically designed to perform a single task or display specific content in a compact and user-friendly manner. They serve as building blocks for creating more complex user interfaces and enhancing the overall user experience.
Some common examples include weather widgets, which provide current weather conditions and forecasts; clock widgets, displaying the current time along with date and time zone information; and calendar widgets, offering a quick view of upcoming events and appointments from a user’s calendar application.
