Web components are reusable code snippets used to build reusable Web application components. They have the following characteristics:
-
Reusability: Web components can be reused to build multiple different Web application pages or components, thus reducing duplicate code and improving development efficiency.
-
Testability: Web components can be tested in an isolated environment, meaning developers can test the component's logic and behavior without worrying about the runtime state of the entire application.
-
Maintainability: Web components can be easily refactored and organized to make them easier to maintain and update.
-
Technology neutrality: Web components can be built using different programming languages and technologies, so they can be integrated with different development teams and projects.
-
Easy to learn: Web components can be accessed using standardized Web APIs, so the learning curve is relatively shallow, appealing to both beginners and less experienced developers.
-
Security: Web components can contain encrypted logic and data to ensure their security.
-
Extensibility: Web components can be customized and extended across different web applications to meet specific needs.
-
Compatibility: Web components can run on different browsers and devices and have cross-browser compatibility.
