What are some examples of event delegation in JavaScript?

Can you explain what event delegation is in JavaScript?

Event delegation is a technique that allows you to attach a single event listener to a parent element instead of multiple listeners to child elements.

Can you give me an example of how to implement event delegation?

Sure! For instance, if you have a list of items, you can add a click event listener to the parent <ul> element. When an item is clicked, the event bubbles up to the <ul>, and you can handle the event there.

What are the benefits of using event delegation?

The benefits include improved performance by reducing the number of event listeners and easier management of dynamic elements.

Are there any drawbacks to using event delegation?

Yes, one drawback is that it can lead to event handling issues if the event target is not properly identified, especially with complex structures.
