UI Component Libraries: Ant Design vs Bootstrap

Both antd and Bootstrap are popular libraries that provide ready-to-use components for building website interfaces. Bootstrap is a more traditional and widely-used framework that works well with any project, while Ant Design (antd) is a more modern, React-focused library with a distinct Asian design style. These libraries help developers create good-looking websites without writing all the CSS and components from scratch.

UI Component Library

Chakra UI

80%

A simple and modern React component library with a focus on accessibility and ease of use. It provides building blocks that help create clean and professional-looking websites quickly.

CSS Framework

Tailwind CSS

70%

A utility-first CSS framework that lets you build custom designs without leaving your HTML. Instead of pre-built components, it gives you small building blocks to create your own designs.

While different from Bootstrap's component-based approach, it's becoming the go-to choice for custom designs. It offers more flexibility than Bootstrap while still providing a solid foundation.

Bugs and feature requests

Have a bug or a feature request? Please first read the issue guidelines and search for existing and closed issues. If your problem or idea is not addressed yet, please open a new issue.

Documentation

Bootstrap’s documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with Astro and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at https://getbootstrap.com/. The docs may also be run locally.

Documentation search is powered by Algolia's DocSearch.

Running documentation locally

Run npm install to install the Node.js dependencies, including Astro (the site builder).
Run npm run test (or a specific npm script) to rebuild distributed CSS and JavaScript files, as well as our docs assets.
From the root /bootstrap directory, run npm run docs-serve in the command line.
Open http://localhost:9001 in your browser, and voilà.

Learn more about using Astro by reading its documentation.

Documentation for previous releases

You can find all our previous releases docs on https://getbootstrap.com/docs/versions/.

Previous releases and their documentation are also available for download.

Contributing

Please read through our contributing guidelines. Included are directions for opening issues, coding standards, and notes on development.

Moreover, if your pull request contains JavaScript patches or features, you must include relevant unit tests. All HTML and CSS should conform to the Code Guide, maintained by Mark Otto.

Editor preferences are available in the editor config for easy use in common text editors. Read more and download plugins at https://editorconfig.org/.

Community

Get updates on Bootstrap’s development and chat with the project maintainers and community members.

Follow @getbootstrap on X.
Read and subscribe to The Official Bootstrap Blog.
Ask questions and explore our GitHub Discussions.
Discuss, ask questions, and more on the community Discord or Bootstrap subreddit.
Chat with fellow Bootstrappers in IRC. On the irc.libera.chat server, in the #bootstrap channel.
Implementation help may be found at Stack Overflow (tagged bootstrap-5).
Developers should use the keyword bootstrap on packages which modify or add to the functionality of Bootstrap when distributing through npm or similar delivery mechanisms for maximum discoverability.

Versioning

For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, Bootstrap is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we adhere to those rules whenever possible.

See the Releases section of our GitHub project for changelogs for each release version of Bootstrap. Release announcement posts on the official Bootstrap blog contain summaries of the most noteworthy changes made in each release.
