What you see in any web app, in the UI, is the result of the rendering process of the HTML code that represents the page or components.
In traditional web apps, when the browser requests the page, the server either sends a full HTML page in the case of static web apps, or, in situations of apps such as ASP.NET MVC, it constructs a full HTML string after doing data and UI manipulation, and then sends it to the client. The browser takes that HTML and renders it as is.
