Key features include the grid system, prebuilt components, Sass variables, maps, functions, and mixins, CSS variables for global and component-level theming, a Utility API for generating and customizing utility classes, and JavaScript plugins such as Alert, Button, Carousel, Collapse, Dropdown, Modal, Offcanvas, Popover, Scrollspy, Tab, Toast, and Tooltip. Popper is used for Popover and Tooltip. Bootstrap Icons provides an SVG icon library. It can be installed via npm, RubyGems, Composer, Meteor, or included via CDN.

Bootstrap is for developers building responsive websites who want a customizable frontend foundation. It is available as an open-source project, with source files installable through package managers or downloadable, and compiled CSS and JS available via CDN.
