# Menu & Navigation

**Web Navigation** is the process of navigating a website or a web application through its various contents or features. A **Menu** helps to guide the user through the web by listing out the contents or features in a structured format that can be easily accessed. As a result, the Menu is the most important aspect of web design for a better user experience. So, the best way to design a menu is to make it simple, intuitive, and conventional.

**There are different types of web navigation practices used across websites**.

**Hierarchical Navigation** \
Hierarchical Navigation grows from general to specific. This provides a clear, simple path to all the sections of your site/application in a single place.

**Global Navigation** \
Global Navigation shows only the top-level sections of the website/application. Further pages and sections are listed on each page as you navigate through the site.

**Local Navigation** \
Local Navigation is the link within the text to another page or section of your website.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.oneweb.tech/oneweb/design-and-develop-oneweb-apps/design-and-develop-ux-ui/ux-ui-components/menu-and-navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
