Introduction
The ELIXIR Cloud Components (ECC) are a suite of web components designed for integration with federated cloud infrastructures, specifically those implementing Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) (opens in a new tab) standards. This documentation provides a comprehensive overview of the ECC architecture, components, and implementation guidelines.

Technical Overview
ECC is built on web components (opens in a new tab), ensuring broad compatibility and platform independence. The components are designed to be modular, reusable, and interoperable with various cloud infrastructures adhering to GA4GH specifications.
Standards Compliance
Implements GA4GH standards for compatibility with federated cloud infrastructures.
Modular Architecture
Each component is self-contained, facilitating easy integration and maintenance.
Extensibility
Loosely coupled features allow for customization and support of non-standard implementations.
Platform Agnostic
Compatible with any web framework or platform that supports vanilla HTML/JavaScript.
Headless Design
Utilizes CSS custom properties (design tokens) and CSS parts for flexible styling customization, inspired by shadcn/ui (opens in a new tab) architecture.
