Ask HN: How many "layers" do we go though using a browser?

2 pointsby babyboy808over 15 years ago
Was just randomly thinking earlier about how computers are basically built up though layers until it hits machine code. So here's one for you...<p>How many "layers" (don't know how else to describe it) does the computer go through to hit binary?<p>Browser &#60; ... &#60; ... binary ?

From one point of view it's all binary, but here are the layers of one project that I worked on (and this is the simplified version):<p>Browser &#62; javascript &#62; client library &#62; jQuery &#62; apache &#62; Jboss &#62; Spring &#62; Tomcat&#62; controller logic &#62; business logic &#62; Hibernate &#62; cache&#62; database &#62; jsp &#62; libraries
