Bootstrap vs Tailwind CSS

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is Component-based framework. It is based on object-oriented CSS.

Bootstrap comes with a set of pre-made components that are used to design a typical website quickly.

Bootstrap CSS is an easy-to-learn framework that maintains consistency for different browser and devices. If you know CSS, then it is pretty easy to learn customization in Bootstrap for website development.

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind is known as Utility-first CSS Framework.

The most interesting feature of Tailwind CSS is high customization. You can style each component of your website as the Tailwind UI demands form it.

This framework has no ready-made components for designing. You build your own custom components with the utility classes.
