What does the `dw.web` package handle in Salesforce Commerce Cloud?

The dw.web package in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is responsible for managing web-related services, which encompass a variety of functions essential to the operation of web applications. This includes handling HTTP requests, session management, and various aspects of web communication.

The functionality provided by this package is crucial for building dynamic web applications, as it allows developers to manage user interactions with the site, process web requests, and maintain user sessions throughout their visit. This means that when a user navigates through the site, the dw.web package plays a vital role in tracking their session state and facilitating the communication between the client-side and the server-side of the application.

The other options focus on different areas that are not within the scope of the dw.web package. Payment processing and transaction management pertain to financial operations, data storage and retrieval relate to database interactions, and user authentication and authorization deal with security aspects. Each of these areas is managed by other packages or frameworks within Salesforce Commerce Cloud, showcasing the specialized role of the dw.web package in web services.
