* Ionic has been reliant on Angular framework components since its inception as a utility for Angular users. Ionic became framework-agnostic in version 4, which means it is no longer dependent on Angular. The move was made possible through the use of web components and the promotion of Ionic's command-line interface.
* Web components are a collection of features that make use of common APIs that are natively supported by practically all mobile browsers today. As a result, they may be deployed on any mobile device or utilised to develop desktop applications using the Electron framework, such as Progressive Web applications (PWAs). The use of web components with Ionic also allows for the use of any framework.
