Svelte adoption is growing rapidly among startups, agencies, and open-source projects, making it a high-demand, future-oriented skill.

1. What makes Svelte different from React or Vue?
   Svelte is a compiler, not a runtime framework. It compiles code into optimized vanilla JS, avoiding a virtual DOM.

2. How does reactivity work in Svelte?
   Reactivity is triggered when variables are reassigned. The $: syntax allows reactive statements that automatically update UI.

3. What are Svelte stores?
   Stores are reactive data containers (writable, readable, derived) used for global state management.

4. What is SvelteKit?
   SvelteKit is the official application framework for Svelte, providing routing, SSR, SSG, and deployment features.

5. How does routing work in SvelteKit?
   It uses a file-based routing system where files in the src/routes directory define application routes.

6. How does SvelteKit handle data fetching?
   Through the load function, which allows data to be fetched server-side or client-side.

7. What is SSR in SvelteKit?
   SSR (Server-Side Rendering) allows pages to be rendered on the server for better performance and SEO.

8. How do you implement authentication in SvelteKit?
   By integrating JWT/OAuth, protecting routes, and using SvelteKit endpoints for session management.

9. How does Svelte handle styling?
   Each component has scoped CSS, meaning styles are isolated. Global styles can be applied when necessary.

10. Where is Svelte commonly used?
    Svelte is popular in high-performance web apps, startups, portfolios, e-commerce sites, and SaaS products.
