Understanding Shadow DOM and its Use Cases in Web Components
Shadow DOM is a key feature for creating web components, enabling encapsulation by scoping styles and markup. It differs from the regular DOM by providing a separate DOM tree, which restricts access and prevents style leakage from the outer document. This encapsulation allows developers to build reusable components without worrying about conflicting styles or behavior with the surrounding elements. For instance, a complex component like an audio player can consist of various individual elements, all contained within its own shadow DOM, ensuring that they function and render independently of the global DOM.
