LitElement is a lightweight base class for creating fast, efficient web components using the lit-html templating library. It simplifies the process of building web components by providing a reactive and declarative way to define templates and manage component state. LitElement leverages modern web platform features like ES6 classes, decorators, and the Shadow DOM to create encapsulated and reusable components.
Compared to other web component libraries like Polymer, LitElement offers a more lightweight and modern approach with better performance and smaller bundle size. It is actively maintained by the Polymer team and is recommended for building custom elements in modern web applications.
