Worker Global Scope

Worker Global Scope is a JavaScript API that provides a global execution context for web workers, allowing scripts to run in background threads separate from the main browser thread. It enables parallel processing and offloading of computationally intensive tasks to prevent blocking the user interface, supporting features like message passing and event handling for communication with the main thread.
