<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true"><li>Event propagation in JavaScript involves the order in which event handlers are invoked in the DOM.</li><li>There are two phases of event propagation: Bubbling and Capturing.</li><li>Event Bubbling is the default phase where the event moves from the target element to its ancestors.</li><li>Event Capturing starts at the topmost ancestor and moves down to the target element.</li><li>Example code shows event propagation using capturing and bubbling phases.</li><li>Parent and child event handlers using capturing execute before the one using the bubbling phase.</li><li>Bubbling is useful for parent components reacting to child actions or event delegation.</li><li>Capturing is suitable for intercepting events early or preventing default actions.</li><li>You can control event flow using event.stopPropagation() and event.stopImmediatePropagation().</li><li>Understanding event propagation is essential for building efficient JavaScript applications.</li><li>Mastering bubbling and capturing helps in debugging and designing reusable components.</li></ul>
