Bootstrap is a free and open-source CSS framework for responsive mobile-first front-end web development. It contains CSS and JavaScript templates for interfaces including typography, forms, buttons and navigation. Bootstrap was developed by Twitter and released in 2011. Bootstrap 4, the newest version, supports the latest browsers and platforms but not IE8-9. It does not support Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons so other icon libraries should be used instead. Bootstrap's source files can be used directly, via CDN, or with package managers like npm. Components include containers for layouts and grids.
