Overview

Bootstrap 5 focuses on delivering a more lightweight framework by removing jQuery dependencies and optimizing its JavaScript components. It also improves the grid system, offers extended color palettes, and refines its documentation and approach to customization.

What's New in Bootstrap 5

  • No jQuery: All components rely on vanilla JS, reducing overhead.
  • Updated Forms: More consistent styling and improved layout classes.
  • Utility API: Create custom utility classes without manually editing Sass.
  • Revised Grid: More flexible columns, new breakpoints, and alignment options.

Example Usage

Below is a basic HTML template showcasing how to include Bootstrap 5 via a CDN link.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Bootstrap 5 Home Example</title>
    <!-- BS5 CSS -->
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1 class="text-center my-4">Welcome to Bootstrap 5</h1>
        <p>This is a simple example showing how to include Bootstrap 5 in your project using a CDN.</p>
    </div>

    <!-- BS5 JS -->
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
