What is ViewEncapsulation in Angular and what modes does it support?

Junior Angular
Quick Answer ViewEncapsulation controls how component CSS is scoped. Emulated (default): Angular adds unique attributes to elements and scopes CSS to match - styles don't leak. ShadowDom: uses native Shadow DOM for real isolation. None: styles are global and leak everywhere. Emulated is the best default - provides isolation without Shadow DOM browser compatibility concerns.
