appletsearch for term

1. A small application that performs a specific task.2. Short for "Java applet": small Java programs that are application-oriented rather than server-oriented. Java applets can be embedded in an HTML page and executed by a browser without waiting for server processing. This means that Java applets are particularly useful for processing intensive or time-sensitive elements of a Web page, such as multimedia, animation, or user-interactive forms.
