What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the client side in applications?

Using the client-side in applications has its pros and cons.

Advantages:

• Reduces server load, part of the logic and data processing is done on the client.
• Improves interface responsiveness, as constant communication with the server is not required.
• Possibility to work offline (e.g., using cache).

Disadvantages:

• Dependence on the power and capabilities of the user's device.
• Security: client-side code can be viewed and modified, so full trust cannot be placed in the client.
• Variability of browsers and devices complicates testing and support.

In Go applications, the client part is usually implemented through a web frontend, and the server part is on Go, which allows dividing responsibilities and increasing scalability.
