Which component of a web browser is responsible for taking HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code and turning it into the visual page you interact with?
The **Rendering Engine** (also known as the layout engine) is the core software component of a web browser responsible for displaying content. It parses HTML, XML, and styling information (CSS) and calculates the layout to paint the visual web page on the screen. (Examples include Blink in Chrome and Edge, and Gecko in Firefox). The JavaScript engine handles executing scripts, but the rendering engine draws the resulting page.
