## What are DOM Components?
DOM components allow web code to run verbatim in a webview on native platforms while rendering as-is on web. This enables using web-only libraries like `recharts`, `react-syntax-highlighter`, or any React web library in your Expo app without modification.
## When to Use DOM Components
Use DOM components when you need:
- **Web-only libraries** — Charts (recharts, chart.js), syntax highlighters, rich text editors, or any library that depends on DOM APIs
- **Migrating web code** — Bring existing React web components to native without rewriting
- **Complex HTML/CSS layouts** — When CSS features aren't available in React Native
- **iframes or embeds** — Embedding external content that requires a browser context
- **Canvas or WebGL** — Web graphics APIs not available natively
