Carbon: w3c Web Components Library

[AnthumChris]

I'd like to open a discussion for creating a Web Components (W3C) library for Carbon. Has this been discussed before? What are everyone's thoughts?

A Web Components library would be a great addition to (or foundation of) the current Vue, React, and Angular libraries that Carbon provides. Web Components would also provide framework-agnostic projects with the same level of UI component reusability while providing better guarantees of visual/behavioral consistency when implemented into projects using other libraries or frameworks (Shadow DOM encapsulation prevents collisions with other CSS/JS).

Web Components is now a W3C browser standard that offers native component-driven development in all browsers. It's also a future-proof foundation for integration with current or future frameworks.

For those new to Web Components, here are some great intros:

• https://www.webcomponents.org/introduction
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components
• https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/11/the-power-of-web-components/
