Aura components include specific markup tags and event models that differ from Lightning Web Components. While many features have migration paths, constructs like event registration tags and application event scopes behave uniquely in Aura. Understanding these distinctions helps in selecting the right solution or migrating legacy code.

Core information
  • Aura components use the <aura:component extends="..."> tag to inherit attributes from a super component, allowing sub-components to access inherited values.
More details and nuances
  • There is no equivalent in Lightning Web Components for the <aura:registerEvent> tag used to register that a component can fire an event.
