Flexbox, or the Flexible Box Layout, is a CSS layout model that allows for the arrangement of elements in a one-dimensional space. It is particularly useful for aligning items within a container and distributing space among them.

Benefits of Flexbox

Flexbox simplifies the process of creating complex layouts. It allows for easy alignment of items, even when their size is unknown or dynamic. This makes it a favorite among web developers.

"Flexbox is a game changer for layout design."

Getting Started with Flexbox

To use Flexbox, set the display property of a container to flex. You can then control the alignment and spacing of child elements using various Flexbox properties.
