Lwc |
Aura is a proprietary framework built by Salesforce. It includes a comprehensive component model with its own lifecycle, event-handling system, and data binding mechanisms. | LWC is built on modern web standards like ES6+, Web Components, and the Shadow DOM. It reduces reliance on custom frameworks by using native browser features, making it a lighter framework compared to Aura. |
Aura components have a heavier DOM structure and tend to be slower due to their reliance on a custom component lifecycle and rendering mechanisms. It also has more layers of abstraction, which can slow down performance. | LWC is faster because it leverages native web standards and the browser’s built-in engine. |

Aura has its own event system, including Application and Component events. |
LWC uses the native JavaScript event system, making it simpler and more intuitive. |
Aura uses two-way data binding, meaning changes to the data automatically update the UI and vice versa. | LWC uses one-way data binding, which simplifies the data flow and makes the application easier to maintain. |
