About

Bootstrap is an open-source framework for building responsive, mobile-first websites and web applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, originally developed at Twitter.

It provides a responsive grid system, prebuilt components, extensive Sass variables and mixins, official icon library, and built-in form validation.

Material Design Lite (MDL) is a legacy user interface framework that implements Material Design components using plain CSS, JavaScript, and HTML without external dependencies.

It provides a set of ready-made UI components, such as buttons, layouts, cards, menus, sliders, and dialogs, a responsive grid system, and automatic component upgrading via JavaScript.
