Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end web development framework used to make awesome webpages. It focuses on the responsive and mobile-first approach to design webpages. Bootstrap is based on CSS and Javascript. It has a variety of predefined classes for every element, be it a button, form, or navigation bar.
But why do we need it?? Let’s try to understand that first.
Let’s say you want to make a form. Now you can make it using HTML and apply styling through your custom CSS but instead, you can use bootstrap to apply predefined classes to your form tags to make it look awesome. All your headache regarding writing long CSS code will be saved by just including a CDN. Isn’t that cool? It not only provides predefined styles but also saves a lot of time when you want to focus on some core parts of development and hence increases your productivity.
Its easy to use classes and comprehensive documentation makes it even more popular among developers.
It can be downloaded on the machine to use or can be used through CDN (Content delivery network) by just including a link.
The current version at the time of writing this blog is bootstrap 4.5.0. You can visit their documentation for more info on how to use it.
