CSS Grid vs Flexbox

Both CSS Grid and Flexbox are essential tools for modern web layout, but they serve different purposes.

When to Use Flexbox

Flexbox is perfect for:

• One-dimensional layouts (rows or columns)
• Centering content
• Distributing space between items
• Navigation bars
• Card layouts

.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
}

When to Use CSS Grid

CSS Grid excels at:

• Two-dimensional layouts
• Complex page layouts
• Overlapping elements
• Responsive design without media queries

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));
  gap: 2rem;
}

Conclusion

Use Flexbox for components and CSS Grid for layouts. They complement each other perfectly!
