Front End Development

main defines the primary content of a web page or application—content that is unique to that document and directly related to its central topic or functionality

article defines a self-contained, independent piece of content that can stand alone and be distributed or reused independently—such as a blog post, news article, forum post, or user comment.

If there’s only one article on a page, you can get away with just the main tag, though you can also nest an article tag under it.

header define the introductory or navigational content for a document or a section.  It typically contains headings (<h1> to <h6>), logos, site titles, navigation menus, search forms, or other introductory elements. Often appears under an article. Can definitely have multiple instances of this on the same page.

If you can put a h<n> tag, then you can put a header tag, though the reverse may not be true.
