Status: public · Confidence: medium (0.855) · Basis: verified_sources
## TL;DR The Intersection Observer API lets code observe when elements enter or leave a viewport or scrolling container. It is commonly used for lazy loading, infinite scrolling, and visibility tracking. ## Core Explanation Instead of polling scroll positions, developers register observers and receive callbacks when intersection thresholds are crossed. ## Detailed Analysis This repair cites MDN, the W3C specification, and web.dev for API behavior and common use cases. ## Related Articles - [API Gateway](../api-gateway.md) - [Broadcast Channel API](../broadcast-channel-api.md) - [Canvas API](../canvas-api.md)
