"component tree is bound to the DOM as strings" You can pass data as props instead of attrs, same as with react - https://github.com/Polymer/lit-element. I wonder why this pop's up all the time.

It is true that polymer had quite a bit of limitations, but there are other solutions like stencil, lit-element, svelte or vue (yes it can output WC's) that do not have those problems.

Lit-html in latest version I think is only outperformed by inferno from popular solutions.

That's still converting attributes to/from DOM strings, which seems likely to end up in bad places once you've got a huge amount of data.

Here - https://jsfiddle.net/ae3bjk7g/14/ Since this show on HN all the time. Here is an example where Web Components pass a FUNCTION as a property to eachother to demonstrate its not strings/JSON. Hopefully this clears things up for you. Cheers!

Where did you get this information from?

This is not true, there is no string conversion. There is even separate syntax for setting props vs attrs.

Check out the readme here.

I also normally use redux in my WC applications.
