When would you choose Flexbox over CSS Grid?
Answer
Flexbox lays out along one axis and sizes items from their content, so it suits a row of buttons, a nav bar, or anything that should distribute space in a single direction. Grid defines rows and columns up front, so it suits page-level and two-dimensional layouts where things must line up in both directions. They aren't rivals — grid the page, flex the components inside it.
Points an interviewer listens for
- Flexbox: one axis, content-driven
- Grid: two axes, layout defined up front
- Grid for page structure, flex for components
- They nest together routinely
