Web Components are a set of technologies that allow for the creation of reusable custom HTML elements. They consist of four main parts: Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, HTML Templates, and HTML Imports.
Advantages of Web Components:
- Reusability: The ability to create components that can be reused across different projects.
- Encapsulation: Shadow DOM allows for encapsulation of styles and logic, preventing conflicts with the rest of the page.
- Modularity: Web Components promote a modular approach to application development, making code easier to manage.
- Framework independence: Web Components can be used with any framework or without one, providing greater flexibility in tool choice.
- Performance: By encapsulating and loading only necessary elements, Web Components can improve application performance.
