 - In Vue 2.x, application root container's `outerHTML` is replaced with root component template (or eventually compiled to a template, if root component has no template/render option). Vue 3.x now uses application container's `innerHTML` instead - this means the container itself is no longer considered part of the template.

+# VNode Lifecycle Events <MigrationBadges :badges="$frontmatter.badges" />
+
+## Overview
+
+In Vue 2, it was possible to use events to listen for key stages in a component's lifecycle. These events had names that started with the prefix `hook:`, followed by the name of the corresponding lifecycle hook.
+
+In Vue 3, this prefix has been changed to `vnode-`. In addition, these events are now available for HTML elements as well as components.
+
+## 2.x Syntax
+
+In Vue 2, the event name is the same as the equivalent lifecycle hook, prefixed with `hook:`:
+
+```html
+<template>
+  <child-component @hook:updated="onUpdated">
+</template>
+```
+
+## 3.x Syntax
+
+In Vue 3, the event name is prefixed with `vnode-`:
+
+```html
+<template>
+  <child-component @vnode-updated="onUpdated">
+</template>
+```
+
+Or just `vnode` if you're using camel case:
+
+```html
+<template>
+  <child-component @vnodeUpdated="onUpdated">
+</template>
+```
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+In most cases it should just require changing the prefix. The lifecycle hooks `beforeDestroy` and `destroyed` have been renamed to `beforeUnmount` and `unmounted` respectively, so the corresponding event names will also need to be updated.
