Review some examples to demonstrate the advantages of using a utility-first CSS framework over a traditional UI kit.

What is Tailwind CSS:-

According to the official documentation, Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces. it is a cool way to write inline styling and achieve an awesome interface without writing a single line of our own CSS. Tailwind CSS isn’t the first utility-first CSS library, but it is the most popular at the moment. Tailwind is a CSS framework created by Adam Wathan. Unlike other frameworks, it does not come prebuilt with classes to add to the HTML tags. Instead, it uses a different approach. It brings a much lower level of control by using utility-based classes.

What is bootstrap:-

Developing a webpage that can make it comfortable in various sized devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, and desktop screens) will help developers to make a single webpage that can be seen on different devices, hence reducing the effort of measuring different sized devices and then making individual pages for each of them. It is an open-source and free CSS framework, which helps in directing a responsive device-friendly mobile-first front-end web page development tool. Bootstrap includes the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is in faster web development and supports developers in creating responsive web pages faster.
