 ## Component props
 
 By convention, values passed to components are referred to as _properties_ or _props_ rather than _attributes_, which are a feature of the DOM.

 {expression}
 ```
 
+When using {expression} inside markup, Svelte automatically converts the value to a string before rendering it. The conversion follows JavaScript's standard behavior:
+
+- Primitive values (number, boolean, string) are directly converted to strings.
+- Objects call their .toString() method (if not overridden, it defaults to [object Object]).
+- undefined and null are treated as empty strings ("").
+
+```svelte
+<script>
+	let num = 1;
+	let bool = false;
+	let obj = { key: "value" };
+	let empty = undefined;
+</script>
+
+<p>{num}</p>   <!-- Renders as: <p>1</p> -->
+<p>{bool}</p>  <!-- Renders as: <p>false</p> -->
+<p>{obj}</p>   <!-- Renders as: <p>[object Object]</p> -->
+<p>{empty}</p> <!-- Renders as: <p></p> (empty string) -->
+```

 Curly braces can be included in a Svelte template by using their [HTML entity](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Entity) strings: `&lbrace;`, `&lcub;`, or `&#123;` for `{` and `&rbrace;`, `&rcub;`, or `&#125;` for `}`.
 
 If you're using a regular expression (`RegExp`) [literal notation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp#literal_notation_and_constructor), you'll need to wrap it in parentheses.
