CssBaseline

CssBaseline is a concept and often a component in CSS frameworks that aims to provide a consistent and predictable starting point for styling web pages across different browsers. Browsers have their own default styles for HTML elements, which can lead to variations in appearance and behavior. CssBaseline seeks to neutralize these browser-specific defaults.

The primary goal of a CssBaseline is to reduce the amount of manual styling needed to achieve a uniform look. It typically resets or normalizes common HTML element styles such as font sizes, margins, padding, and list styles. This ensures that elements like headings, paragraphs, and lists render similarly regardless of the user's browser.

Many CSS frameworks, including Material UI and Bootstrap, include their own implementations of CssBaseline. These implementations might go beyond simple resets and can also include styles for form elements, typography, and other common UI patterns. Developers often include CssBaseline at the beginning of their project's CSS to establish a clean slate before applying their custom styles. This approach promotes cross-browser compatibility and simplifies the development process by removing the need to constantly account for differing browser defaults.
