/ About /

Lit is a lightweight JavaScript library (~5 KB) for building web components on top of the Web Components standards. It adds reactivity, declarative templates, and scoped styles to reduce boilerplate while remaining interoperable with any framework or none at all. Lit components are native custom elements that work anywhere HTML is used.

/ How it works /

Lit extends the native Web Components standards with reactive properties, declarative tagged-template HTML rendering, and Shadow DOM scoped styles in a ~5 KB package.

/ Who it's for /

frontend developers building shareable components, design systems, or web apps
