What is Bootstrap ?

- Bootstrap includes HTML and CSS based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, tables, navigation, modals, image carousels and many other, as well as optional JavaScript plugins.
- Bootstrap also gives you the ability to easily create responsive designs.

Include Bootstrap’s CSS and JS
- Another way to include Bootstrap's CSS and JS in your web page is to use a CDN (Content Delivery Network), which allows you to link to the files hosted on a third-party server. This method can be faster and easier than downloading and hosting the files yourself.
- To use a CDN for Bootstrap, add the following code to the <head> section of your HTML document:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"
integrity="sha384-rbsA2VBKQhggwzxH7pPCaAqO46MgnOM80zW1RWuH61DGLwZJEdK2Kadq2F9CUG65"
crossorigin="anonymous">
- And add the following code at the end of the <body> section of your HTML document:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.3/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"
integrity="sha384-kenU1KFdBIe4zVF0s0G1M5b4hcpxyD9F7jL+jjXkk+Q2h455rYXK/7HAuoJl+0I4"
crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
- Note that when using a CDN, you don't need to download or host the files. Instead, your web page will load the files from the CDN server.
