What is embedded web server?

An embedded web server is a lightweight web server integrated within a device or system, allowing it to host web pages and serve content directly over a network. It enables remote access and control of embedded systems, such as IoT devices, by providing a user interface through standard Web Browsers. This allows users to configure settings, monitor status, and interact with the device without needing specialized software. Common applications include smart home devices, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics.
