Event Delegation in JavaScript: Cleaner Code with Event Bubbling

Adding event listeners to every element? There’s a smarter way in JavaScript. It’s called Event Delegation. Instead of attaching multiple event listeners to child elements, you attach one listener to the parent element. Why this works? Because of event bubbling. When an event happens, it moves up the DOM tree: Child → Parent → Document Example: document.getElementById("list").addEventListener("click", (e) => { if (e.target.tagName === "LI") { console.log("List item clicked"); } }); Now a single listener can handle all child element clicks. Benefits: • Better performance • Cleaner code • Works for dynamically added elements Small concepts like this make a big difference in real projects.
