CSS Flexbox vs Grid: Which One Should I Use?

What's the difference between CSS Flexbox and Grid?

CSS Flexbox is designed for one-dimensional layouts, while Grid is for two-dimensional layouts. Flexbox aligns items in a row or column, whereas Grid allows for complex layouts with rows and columns.

When should I use Flexbox instead of Grid?

Use Flexbox when you need to align items in a single direction, like a navigation bar. Use Grid for more complex layouts that require both rows and columns.

Can I use both Flexbox and Grid together?

Yes, you can use both together! For example, you might use Grid for the overall layout and Flexbox for aligning items within a grid cell.

Are there any performance differences between them?

Generally, there are no significant performance differences. The choice should be based on layout needs rather than performance.
