Choosing the Right Html 5 Framework - Boilerplate HTML5, Skeleton, Twitter Bootstrap and HTML KickStart

Question

I need advice on choosing one of the above frameworks for developing HTML5 UI (I'm completely new to this end of the world). One of the basic requirements is to simplify user interface design as much as possible by reusing / modifying existing user interface controls.

We need it to be lightweight and stable in a production environment (which speaks with Spring MVC). A quick summary of PRO and Con from experienced hands would be really helpful.

PS Under the influence of a few good reviews of HTML Kickstart (light weight) I quickly looked, and it seems to be a good bet with a small amount of user interface controls (roots from the Awesome font). I am a little afraid of its stability / flexibility in the production environment.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

For visual, support, quality → Twitter Bootstrap

Twitter Bootstrap and HTML5 Boilerplate from different goals, but complement each other.

For a better and more concise and complete read this book HTML5 Enterprise Application Development , you have a lot of things not explained in detail, but will show some names, and you can choose what you want.

Answer 2

These are the most common at present:

• http://getbootstrap.com/
• http://foundation.zurb.com/
• http://semantic-ui.com/

Answer 3

About HTML Kickstart, I saw this, and I think that it does not have an updated view, almost always the front framework interface has a structure of 12 columns, so Bootstrap uses 12 columns and has a very active community. About HTML5 The Boilerplate is the starting point for creating a web page in HTML5, so both have different goals, and both can help each other. That way you can use both. Skeleton is another competitor to Bootstrap, and I think if you need to create a website with menus, navigation, lists, tables, a slider, forms, etc. Bootstrap has these components, so you will need to copy and paste, while Skeleton is just the basic structure of the columns, no more.

So, it's best to use both: HTML5 Boilerplate with Bootstrap, both can give you a safe and responsive website.
