CSS Grid is a two-dimensional layout system, allowing for both rows and columns, while Flexbox is one-dimensional, focusing on either rows or columns.

Use CSS Grid when you need to create complex layouts with overlapping elements or when you want to control both dimensions. For example, a photo gallery layout.

What are some advantages of using Flexbox?

Flexbox is great for simpler layouts, as it allows for easy alignment and distribution of space among items in a single direction.

Are there any performance differences between the two?

Can I use both Grid and Flexbox together?
