What is a Playwright locator?

✓Correct answer: A lazy description of how to find an element; it is resolved again on every action, so it never goes stale
2A reference to a DOM element captured once
3A CSS selector string

Explanation

Unlike ElementHandle, a locator is re-evaluated each time - re-renders don't break it.
