getDomAttribute()-
Key Point: Returns the attribute value exactly as written in the HTML.
<input type="text" id="username" value="testUser">
WebElement input =
String value = // Returns "testUser"
getDomProperty()-
Key Point: Reflects the current state of the element, including any changes made by JavaScript or user interactions.
<input type="text" id="username" value="testUser">

WebElement input =
input.sendKeys("newInput"); // Changes value in the browser
String value = // Returns "newInput"

getDomAttribute(): Static, from the HTML source.
getDomProperty(): Dynamic, reflects real-time state.

adding to above video :
The 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦() method caused confusion where a web element had both an "attribute value" and a "property value" for the same name.
ex: <input type='text', value='xyz'> </input>
"value" is the attribute to the input tag element - //This always returns the static value 'xyz'
"value" is also inbuilt property of input tag element - // This returns the value entered in the textbox at runtime
always 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦() prioritizes the property value over the attribute value

that is why it is depreciated and introduced
