What is Lit?
Lit (previously Lit-Element) is a lightweight library for building fast, reusable web components. Developed by the Polymer team at Google, it is designed to provide a simple, efficient, and developer-friendly way of creating custom elements that can be used across different platforms and frameworks. Built on top of the Web Components standard, Lit enables developers to encapsulate their UI code, logic, and styles into reusable, self-contained, and easily maintainable components.
