What Is Tailwind CSS and Why Use It

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework used to style user interfaces. Instead of writing custom CSS, you use predefined classes directly in your markup.

<div className="p-4 bg-blue-500 text-white rounded-lg">
  Hello World
</div>

• p-4: adds padding;
• bg-blue-500: sets background color;
• text-white: sets text color;
• rounded-lg: adds rounded corners.

Why Use Tailwind CSS

Tailwind helps you:

• Build UI faster;
• Avoid writing separate CSS files;
• Keep styles close to your components.

You combine small utility classes to create the final design directly in your code.
