Links vs. Buttons in Modern Web Applications

This article clarifies the semantic and functional differences between HTML links (<a>) and buttons (<button>) in modern web development. It details the specific use cases for each element, emphasizing accessibility, keyboard navigation, and their roles in client-rendered applications (like those built with React or Angular). The goal is to help developers make better UI decisions by understanding when to use a link for navigation and a button for actions within the same context.
