Materialize vs Web Components: What are the differences?

<Write Introduction here>
  1. HTML Structure: Materialize is a CSS framework that helps in designing responsive websites, whereas Web Components are a set of web platform APIs that allow you to create custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML elements.
  2. Cross-browser Support: Materialize provides consistent styling across different browsers and devices, while Web Components may require polyfills to work properly in older browsers.
  3. Component Reusability: Materialize provides pre-designed components that can be easily integrated into a website, while Web Components allow you to create your own custom elements for reuse in different parts of a web application.
  4. Tooling and Compatibility: Materialize comes with predefined styles and components that can be directly used, whereas Web Components require some level of tooling, like Babel or Webpack, for compatibility across browsers.
  5. Community and Documentation: Materialize has a larger community and more comprehensive documentation available for developers to troubleshoot and learn, compared to Web Components, which may have limited resources and support.
  6. Browser Performance: Materialize may have better performance optimization out of the box, while Web Components may require additional effort to optimize for browser performance.
In Summary, Materialize is a CSS framework for designing responsive websites, while Web Components are a set of web platform APIs for creating custom, reusable HTML elements with differences in HTML structure, cross-browser support, reusability, tooling, community support, and browser performance.
