React Web Components
React Web Components is a technique for integrating React components with native Web Components, allowing developers to use React's declarative UI capabilities within custom HTML elements that work across any JavaScript framework or vanilla environments. It involves wrapping React components as Web Components using libraries or custom implementations, enabling encapsulation, reusability, and framework-agnostic interoperability. This approach bridges the gap between React's component model and the browser's built-in component standards.
Developers should learn React Web Components when building applications that need to share UI components across multiple frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) or in environments where framework independence is crucial, such as in micro-frontends or design systems. It is particularly useful for creating reusable, encapsulated components that can be embedded in non-React projects, leveraging Web Components' native browser support for better performance and compatibility. Use cases include building cross-framework component libraries, integrating legacy systems, or developing platform-agnostic widgets.
