Differences between Implicit wait Vs Explicit wait in selenium webdriver

Question

Can anyone tell me the differences

Answer 1

• Implicit Wait - It instructs the web driver to wait for some time by poll the DOM. Once you declared implicit wait it will be available for the entire life of web driver instance. By default, the value will be 0. If you set a longer default, then the behaviour will poll the DOM on a periodic basis depending on the browser/driver implementation.
• Explicit Wait + ExpectedConditions - It is the custom one. It will be used if we want the execution to wait for some time until some condition achieved.
