Data binding synchronizes properties of non-UI objects, such as a string property on a MonoBehaviour, with properties of UI objects, such as the value property of a TextField.

Use bindings to synchronize values between a property and a specific visual element, so you don't need to write event handlers when the value changes in the UI.
UI Toolkit supports two types of data binding systems that you can use to create bindings for the Editor UI and the runtime UI.
