Grid layout is used to align content into columns and fields. Unlike table layouts, grids are composed of guide lines so that elements positioned relative to the grid can have drag and drop behavior.
GridLayout is similar by concept to the table layout, placing objects into multiple rows and columns so that all cells in the same column usually have the same width.
css grid layout is a "CSS table" that allows to divide available space into columns and rows using a set of predictable sizing behaviors. Unlike HTML table, CSS grid layout is defined in CSS, placing HTML objects into the cells by id.
java GridLayout supports cell padding and may have unspecified number of rows (there are enough rows to place all elements using the specified number of columns, new rows are added as required). It does not support cells spanning over multiple rows or columns (another layout, GridBagLayout
does).
