Explain the basic table in Bootstrap
In general, table is a structured representation of data which is organized into rows and columns. Tables are commonly used in various contexts such as database systems, spreadsheets, and HTML websites.
In HTML, if we create a basic table, it just displays its records without any borders or cell dividers. Whereas in Bootstrap, a basic table has a light padding and horizontal dividers. Bootstrap provides a collection of CSS classes for creating visually appealing websites.
In this article, we are going to discuss all the different classes that can be used to create and style the table in Bootstrap with suitable examples.
Bootstrap Basic Table
We can create a basic bootstrap table using the ".table" class. It has only light padding and horizontal dividers.
Example
In the following example, we are creating a basic Bootstrap table using the ".table" class inside the table tag.
