Overview
Originally developed by Twitter, Bootstrap provides a robust grid system, extensive pre-styled components (buttons, navbars, modals), and powerful JavaScript plugins. It is designed to help developers build professional-looking sites quickly.
Key Components
- Grid System: A 12-column responsive grid for layout.
- Typography: Consistent styles for headings, paragraphs, and lists.
- Forms: Pre-styled input fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons.
- Utilities: Helper classes for spacing, alignment, and visibility.
Evolution
Bootstrap has evolved from using Less to Sass and has recently dropped its dependency on jQuery in version 5.
