did:web
did:web is a DID method that resolves a DID document from a well-known HTTPS location on a domain its owner controls, so it can be published and updated using ordinary web infrastructure without a blockchain or distributed ledger.
A did:web identifier such as did:web:example.com maps directly to a URL like https://example.com/.well-known/did.json, so any standard HTTPS client can fetch the DID document without running specialised resolver software. Trust in the DID depends entirely on control of the domain and its TLS certificate, and the DID document only reflects its current state: nothing in the method itself records or proves what the document looked like before the most recent edit, which is the gap did:webvh closes.

How is a did:web DID resolved?
The DID method identifier and domain map directly to an HTTPS URL under that domain, typically /.well-known/did.json, and fetching that URL returns the DID document. No blockchain, ledger, or specialised network is involved, only ordinary web hosting and TLS.
