LWC - Chirag-ahir/SFC-Preparation GitHub Wiki

Lightning Web Components (LWC) are a modern framework for building custom user interfaces in Salesforce applications. They are built using standard web technologies, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and offer a more efficient and performance-oriented way to develop web components compared to the older Aura framework.

Advantages of LWC

• Performance: LWC uses native browser support and optimized rendering for faster load times and efficient updates.
• Developer Experience: Provides reusable components, standardized web development practices, and enhanced tooling and debugging.
• Security: Built-in Locker Service ensures robust security and component isolation.
• Compatibility: Coexists with Aura components and interacts seamlessly with standard web components.
• Productivity: Simplified development with declarative syntax and access to a rich ecosystem of pre-built components and tools.
• Scalability: Efficient state management and event-driven architecture enhance scalability and modularity.
• Future-Proofing: Aligns with modern web standards, ensuring maintainability and readiness for future web technologies.

Important to remember: Aura components can contain Lightning Web Components, but Lightning Web Components cannot contain Aura Components.
