[Web Components](https://www.webcomponents.org/introduction) are a set of web platform APIs that allow you to create new custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML tags to use in web pages and web apps. Custom components and widgets build on the Web Component standards, will work across modern browsers, and can be used with any JavaScript library or framework that works with HTML.

[WireBootstrap for Web Components](https://www.wirebootstrap.com/products/webcomponents.html) brings templates, two-way data binding, data services, and application event lifecycle hooks to Web Components for building data driven applications.
