Getting Started with Web Components

Web Components are a set of web standards used to build reusable components without depending on specific JavaScript frameworks or libraries. They provide custom elements, shadow DOM, HTML templates, and other APIs to facilitate the creation of self-contained UI components. Companies such as Google, Salesforce, Twitter, GitHub, and YouTube are already using Web Components in their applications. Electronic Arts has successfully implemented Web Components in its network design system to create a coherent experience for users browsing its games' websites. The Web Component example used by Vonage demonstrates how simple it is to use these components with just an HTML tag, without needing to know WebGL and the WebXR Device API. By building on web standards, Web Components aim to make component creation easier and more accessible.
