Benefits of web components

Web components are a set of web platform APIs that allow you to create new custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML tags to use in web pages and web apps. Custom components and widgets build on the Web Component standards, will work across modern browsers, and can be used with any JavaScript library or framework that works with HTML.

Custom elements in HTML are a way to define your own elements along with their behavior. You can use custom elements to create reusable components that can be used in web pages and web apps. Read more about web components here.

Web components are supported by all modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For more information on browser support, see Can I Use.
