Bootstrap is a very nice set of “styles” for all elements of any webpage. With it, a developer can focus on what they want to build (i.e. the elements) and very easily apply all the styling (including a lot of the colours, positioning, layout, movement/javascript) by simply adding few lines of code at the start of the webpage and adding a bootstrap class to an element, or wrapping parts of their webpage in a
<div>.Here is an excellent example of a very basic site that is made to look professional very quickly using very simple bootstrap. Click on “full page demo”, then view -> view source to see the source code.
You can see some classic bootstrap classes like
and
Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end framework developed with css and javascript.
For styling and other change of the html, we make CSS classes and ids. And the main work we do in the css file and js file . But in bootstrap there is already some files which have many built in classes and ids .
After adding bootstrap to a html file we can do many work by only calling those classes and ids .
like ,
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>only calling the class “text-center” we can align text center . No need to do any other css .
Many big company like Twitter, Facebook or YouTube can use it. On the other hand some make their custom files like bootstrap.
