    Lightning Web Components is the Salesforce implementation of that new breed of lightweight frameworks built on web standards. It leverages custom elements, templates, shadow DOM, decorators, modules, and other new language constructs available in ECMAScript 7 and beyond.

    Hi

    Lightning Components are a user interface (UI) framework that is used to create applications for desktop and mobile technologies.

    Salesforce Admins deploy these components to construct single-page web applications that provide an end-to-end experience on the platform for a variety of functions.

    These pages are optimized for a more interactive user and developer experience. Salesforce Architect Mike wrote in one of his articles that Lightning Components provide “a single, integrated framework for developers to create rich, responsive applications that could be seamlessly “plugged in” anywhere in the UI.”

    In practice, this means both your users and customers will have an easier time navigating the interface, streamlining the services Salesforce provides them. Lightning Components can be created, divided, and integrated with other components very easily, which lets you create highly customized pages. Instead of just creating separate components throughout the application, developers can extend lightning web components, allowing new components to be built on one another.

    This makes the build and maintenance easier. For example, developer can create a TABS Lightning Component and have it contain other Lightning Components within it such as an ACTIVITY component.
