What is the difference between display: grid and display: flex?

flex is ideal for distributing space and aligning items in a single row or column, whereas grid provides precise control over both dimensions of the layout.

Flex items can wrap to multiple lines with flex-wrap, but Grid defines explicit row and column structures.

Grid supports features like named areas, spanning multiple rows/columns, and gap controls (row-gap, column-gap) that Flexbox doesn’t provide natively.

Both models support alignment, but Grid allows aligning items along two axes independently, whereas Flexbox primarily aligns along the main and cross axis.
