What is a common characteristic of Lightning Web Components?

Lightning Web Components are designed to leverage the capabilities of modern web standards, which includes using standard HTML and modern JavaScript. This means developers can use familiar web technologies and tools to create reusable components that are lightweight, performant, and maintainable. The use of standard HTML ensures that the components are easily understandable and can be integrated into various web applications without needing specialized knowledge outside the typical web development skill set.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately describe Lightning Web Components. For example, they are not server-side rendered; instead, they are client-side components that render in the browser. They do not require Visualforce for rendering, as Lightning Web Components are intended to work independently within the Lightning framework. Additionally, these components do support data binding, which is a fundamental feature in modern web frameworks, allowing for dynamic updates to the UI based on data changes. Thus, the correct characterization is that they utilize standard HTML and modern JavaScript, enabling a seamless and contemporary approach to web component development.
