What are web components?

Web Components are a set of web platform APIs that allow developers to create reusable, encapsulated custom elements for web applications. They are made up of four main technologies: Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, HTML Templates, and HTML Imports (deprecated). Web Components help in building modular and maintainable code by isolating a component's structure, style, and behavior. This makes it easier to reuse and share UI elements across different projects or frameworks.
