Using Webcomponents for document view for better reusability

[bernhardreiter]

To reuse the single CSAF document view of the repository in different javascript frameworks, consider moving to create standard https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components .

It is possible to do so in Svelte (e.g. https://blog.logrocket.com/build-web-components-svelte/) which is used so far. It would be possible to use (and create) in VueJS3 as well, see https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/web-components.html#using-custom-elements-in-vue

Considerations

• Depending on the use case and which framework is used in a product that shall use the casf document view, the requirements for an integration can be different. A migration to web components can be done much better once the use case and application is known.
• As the build options have to be changed and a file for the import as to be created, a migration to web components will be a little bit of work more for implementation and maintenance of this product. Again it is better to have that additional effort when it is needed, but not earlier.

@ThomasJunk we can keep it open as a possible enhancement. Just because it is not done for 1.0 does not mean it is not done sometimes in the future. ;)
