What is Kebab-Case?

Kebab-case is a naming convention where words are separated by hyphens (-). It's commonly used in web development and software engineering.

Why Use Kebab-Case?

• Readability: Hyphens improve readability by making it easier to distinguish words.
• Consistency: A standard case format ensures uniformity across projects.
• Compatibility: Kebab-case is widely supported in CSS, HTML, and URLs.

Common Use Cases in Web Development

• CSS Class Names: Kebab-case is a standard for naming classes in CSS (e.g., main-navigation, content-wrapper).
• HTML Attributes: Some HTML attributes benefit from kebab-case, especially when custom data attributes are used (e.g., data-user-id).
• URLs: Kebab-case is recommended for creating SEO-friendly and readable URLs (e.g., example.com/blog/my-new-article).
