#Dependency Isolation

Prevents dependency conflicts through Import Maps and module scoping, improving stability.

#Multi-Framework Integration

Integrates multiple frontend frameworks within the same project while maintaining a framework-agnostic design.

#Package Collaboration / Module Decoupling

Enables independent package development and runtime collaboration through module linking.

#Micro-Frontends

Frontend architecture pattern supporting independent development and integration by multiple teams.

#Host Application

Core application that loads and orchestrates remote applications or modules.

#Remote Application/Module

Sub-applications or modules that are dynamically loaded by the host application.
