Understanding Web-Components
Web-Components are a set of Web-Platform APIs that allow developers to create new custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML tags to use in web pages and web apps. This technology is built upon three main specifications: Custom-Elements, which define the behavior of new elements; the Shadow-DOM, which provides Encapsulation for CSS and JavaScript; and HTML-Templates, which allow for the declaration of fragments of markup that are not used until runtime. By leveraging these features, developers can build modular widgets that work across any framework, including React, Angular, and Vue. According to the W3C, these standards facilitate the creation of a more interoperable web. Extensive documentation on implementing these features can be found on the MDN Web Docs. The use of Declarative-Shadow-DOM has also emerged to support server-side rendering of these components, further expanding their utility in Modern-Web-Development.
