## **Introduction and key features**

Vue.js 3 is the latest iteration of the popular JavaScript framework, designed to empower developers with an efficient and flexible approach to building user interfaces. 
Let's delve into the key features and changes that Vue.js 3 brings to the table.  

**#### Declarative Rendering and Reactivity** 
Vue.js 3 extends standard HTML with a template syntax to declaratively describe HTML output based on JavaScript state. This allows for seamless integration of dynamic content within your application. Additionally, Vue.js 3 automatically tracks JavaScript state changes and efficiently updates the DOM when changes occur, providing a smooth and reactive user experience.

**#### Composition API**
The Composition API, now built into Vue.js 3, offers an improved way to organize and share code. It provides better organization and facilitates code reuse, offering a more structured and flexible approach to building large applications using smaller, reusable components. This feature enhances the development process and allows for more manageable and scalable codebases. [[Read More…](https://vuejs.org/api/composition-api-setup.html#composition-api-setup)] 

**#### Single-File Component (SFC)**
In most build-tool-enabled Vue projects, Vue components are authored using the Single-File Component format, encapsulating the component's logic, template, and styles in a single file. This approach provides a convenient and organized way to develop Vue components, ensuring that Vue handles all the build tool setup for developers, streamlining the development process.  [[Read More…](https://vuejs.org/guide/scaling-up/sfc.html#single-file-components)]

**#### Vite : Revolutionizing Frontend Development**
Vite, a build tool created by the same team behind Vue, has complemented Vue 3. Vite, which means “fast” in French, lives up to its name by revolutionizing the frontend development workflow. The combination of Vite and Vue 3 represents a significant leap forward in frontend development. By prioritizing speed, efficiency, and a native development experience, Vite with Vue 3 has set a new standard for modern web development workflows. Its impact extends beyond individual developers, benefiting teams and organizations seeking to deliver high-performance and maintainable web applications. [[Read More…](https://vuejs.org/api/compile-time-flags.html#vite)]

**#### Teleport (formerly Portal)**
Vue.js 3 introduces the Teleport feature, allowing developers to render a piece of HTML code under a specific parent element in the DOM tree. This feature offers enhanced flexibility in placing elements anywhere in the DOM tree, eliminating the need for nested components and facilitating efficient rendering of content. [[Read More…](https://vuejs.org/guide/built-ins/teleport.html#teleport)]
 
**#### Global Mounting** 
Vue.js 3 introduces the `createApp` method, replacing the global Vue instance for installing plugins and libraries. This method protects the Vue application from potential conflicts that may arise from third-party libraries and plugins, providing a more secure and controlled approach to integrating external dependencies.  [[Read More…](https://vuejs.org/api/application.html#createapp)]

**#### Enhanced Reactivity and Watchers**
With Vue.js 3, reactivity improvements allow for direct reactivity in scenarios such as adding new items to arrays or objects without the need for helper functions like `vue.set()` or `vue.delete()`. This streamlined reactivity handling enhances the development experience and simplifies the management of dynamic data.  [[Read More…](https://vuejs.org/api/reactivity-utilities.html#reactivity-api-utilities) & [More…](https://vuejs.org/guide/essentials/watchers.html#watchers)]

**In summary**, Vue.js 3 introduces a range of new features and enhancements that cater to the needs of modern web development. From improved reactivity and code organization to new rendering capabilities, Vue.js 3 offers a robust and efficient platform for building engaging user interfaces and scalable applications.
