Struct Element 

pub struct Element {
    pub kind: ElementKind,
    pub props: Props,
    pub children: Vec<Element>,
    pub key: Option<String>,
}

A renderable element in the algebraic element tree.

Unlike virtual DOM nodes, Elements are nodes in a geometric dataflow graph. They represent projections from geometric state to DOM operations.

Fields

kind: ElementKind

The kind of element (tag, text, component reference)

props: Props

Props/attributes for this element

children: Vec<Element>

Child elements

key: Option<String>

Unique key for reconciliation (optional)
