[3] [4] [5] Webhooks are server-side web APIs that take input as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that is designed to be used like a remote named pipe or a type of callback such that the server acts as a client to dereference the provided URI and trigger an event on another server which handles this event thus providing a type of peer-to ...
It was first used by Groovy 1.0 in 2007 [1] and is currently supported in languages such as C#, [2] Swift, [3] TypeScript, [4] Ruby, [5] Kotlin, [6] Rust, [7] JavaScript, [8] and others. There is currently no common naming convention for this operator, but safe navigation operator is the most widely used term.
The function that accepts a callback may be designed to store the callback so that it can be called back after returning which is known as asynchronous, non-blocking or deferred. Programming languages support callbacks in different ways such as function pointers , lambda expressions and blocks .
Webhooks are "user-defined HTTP callbacks". [2] They are usually triggered by some event, such as pushing code to a repository, [3] a new comment or a purchase, [4] a comment being posted to a blog [5] and many more use cases.

[ 6 ] The functionality of the Windows XMLHTTP ActiveX control in IE 5 was later implemented by Mozilla Firefox , Safari , Opera , Google Chrome , and other browsers as the XMLHttpRequest JavaScript object.

Node.js registers with the operating system so the OS notifies it of asynchronous I/O events such as new connections. Within the Node.js runtime, events trigger callbacks and each connection is handled as a small heap allocation. Traditionally, relatively heavyweight OS processes or threads handled each connection.
In July 2005, George Jempty suggested an optional variable assignment be prepended to JSON. [19] [20] The original proposal for JSONP, where the padding is a callback function, appears to have been made by Bob Ippolito in December 2005 [21] and is now used by many Web 2.0 applications such as Dojo Toolkit and Google Web Toolkit.
