What are the differences between CSS Flexbox and Grid?

What are the differences between CSS Flexbox and Grid?

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

Can you give me an example of when to use Flexbox over Grid?

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

What are some common pitfalls when using Grid?

Common pitfalls include not defining grid areas properly, overcomplicating the layout, and forgetting to account for browser compatibility.

Are there any performance differences between using Flexbox and Grid?

Generally, performance differences are negligible, but complex Grid layouts can be more resource-intensive than Flexbox.
