Lit is designed to make building Web Components easier and more efficient by providing a lightweight, highly-performant layer on top of the standard Web Components APIs. Its main goals are to simplify the process of creating reusable custom elements, deliver fast updates to the DOM, and encourage a declarative approach to building UI. Lit achieves this by introducing a reactive templating system that automatically keeps your component’s UI in sync with its state. Despite all these features, Lit remains small in size, adding minimal overhead to your projects and working seamlessly with existing standards. By enhancing the native Web Components standard, Lit allows you to write less boilerplate code, manage state more intuitively, and benefit from a modern development experience without sacrificing compatibility or performance.
