What are Tailwind CSS utility classes?

Tailwind CSS utility classes are single-purpose classes that allow you to style elements directly in your HTML. They promote a utility-first approach to design.

Can you give me some examples of these utility classes?

Sure! Examples include bg-blue-500 for background color, text-center for text alignment, and p-4 for padding.

How do they compare to traditional CSS?

Unlike traditional CSS, where you define styles in separate files, Tailwind allows you to apply styles directly in your markup, making it faster to prototype and iterate.

Are there any downsides to using utility classes?

One downside is that your HTML can become cluttered with many classes, which might reduce readability. However, it can also lead to more maintainable styles.
