light DOM

browserweb componentsimplementshadow DOM ⟩ light DOM

regular DOM children of a shadow host are referred to as the “light DOM”.

  • if an element has shadow DOM, then its light DOM is not displayed.

  • styles defined beneath a shadow root are private to that tree and will never affect the light DOM elements on the outside.

  • shadow root can define default styles for its host element, but these will be overridden by light DOM styles.
