The most popular front-end framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.
Bootstrap is a powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development. It includes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components for building responsive and mobile-first websites.
Responsive Grid System
Bootstrap's grid system allows you to create responsive layouts that adapt to the screen size of devices.
<div class='container'>
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-md-4'>.col-md-4</div>
<div class='col-md-4'>.col-md-4</div>
<div class='col-md-4'>.col-md-4</div>
</div>
</div>Pre-styled Components
Bootstrap provides a wide range of pre-styled components such as buttons, forms, modals, etc., that can be easily customized and used in web projects.
<button type='button' class='btn btn-primary'>Primary Button</button>JavaScript Plugins
Bootstrap comes with several jQuery plugins that add interactive features such as modals, dropdowns, and carousels.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myModal').modal('toggle');
});
</script>Utility Classes
Bootstrap includes utility classes for spacing, text alignment, display properties, and more, which help in fine-tuning the layout and design.
<div class='text-center mt-3 mb-4'>Centered text with margin top and bottom</div>Foundation is a responsive front-end framework similar to Bootstrap but with a more semantic approach to the grid system and components.
Bulma is a modern CSS framework based on Flexbox. It is lightweight compared to Bootstrap as it doesn't include JavaScript components.
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides low-level utility classes to build custom designs without writing CSS from scratch. It differs from Bootstrap's component-based approach.
Semantic UI is a development framework that helps create beautiful, responsive layouts using human-friendly HTML. It offers a different philosophy with a focus on semantics and readability.
UIkit is a lightweight and modular front-end framework for developing fast and powerful web interfaces. It offers a comprehensive collection of HTML, CSS, and JS components which are simple to use, easy to customize, and extendable.
