Provide a description of the following sections in the cache manifest file: Cache, Network, and Fallback.

In the cache manifest file (.appcache) used for creating offline applications, these sections define rules for handling network requests.

• CACHE:

  Lists resources that will be cached (available offline) on the first load of the application. The browser will download these files and store them locally.

• NETWORK:

  Contains a list of resources or patterns that should never be cached. Requests to these resources will always be sent over the network, even if they are available in the cache. Usually used for resources that need to be always fresh (e.g., API endpoints).

• FALLBACK:

  Sets a fallback resource that will be loaded instead of another if the primary resource is unavailable (e.g., due to no network). Each line in this section consists of two parts separated by a space: the path to the resource and the path to the fallback resource.

Example:

CACHE MANIFEST  
# Version: 1.0  

CACHE:  
index.html  
styles/main.css  
scripts/app.js  

NETWORK:  
/api/*  
  
FALLBACK:  
/ /offline.html
