Web Components: Build Framework-Agnostic UI Elements

Web Components: Build Framework-Agnostic UI Elements

Web Components are native browser APIs: Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML Templates. They let you build reusable UI parts like <modal-dialog> or <accordion-panel> that work in React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, or plain HTML. No build tools, no framework lock-in. With 98% browser support in 2026, they’re the most portable component format around. Write it once, ship it anywhere.
