Caching
The web applications that we utilize each day on our cell phones or on PCs requires
the web association with speak with the web administrations facilitated on the web
servers, this procedure contains some correspondence inactivity and it likewise cost for
Internet-based administrations.

To diminish this inertness the engineers can utilize the store in their applications.
This paper manages the investigation of how designers can manage the treatment of

Performance Evaluation of Mobile Host
Providing web services from smartphones is current recent research topic, this hap-
pened because smartphones are used in almost every area, where today’s user uses for
mobile banking, emailing, searching location and data.

Because of these progression empowers the versatile cell phones to function as a web
specialist organization rather than web benefit shopper. Hosting web service on the
versatile host isn’t new, most recent multi decade specialists dealing with portable web

Problem Statement

3.1 Problem Statement

3.2 Motivation
Due to the increasing populaity of online shopping their is great increase in eCom-
merce activities. Their are manny Websites and Web Apps launched for online shopping.
But their are very few shopping websites which sell the vegetables online as compared
to other products. The motivation of this project is to sell the farm products directly
to the consumers reducing the gap between the farm to fork. Most of the webapps con-
sume more data to frequently fetch the data from the server over the internet on users
request to search for it. To reduce this data consumption we are going to implement
the Application Level Cache in the android app, so when the user serches for something
it will get stored in the cache and next time when user serches for the same item it
will be fetched from the cache besides fetching it from the server over the internet, thus
reducing the data usage and time to complete the process.
