# Containers in Bootstrap
What are [containers](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2194/which-containers-use-a-flowlayout-as-their-default-layout-in-java) in [Bootstrap](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1555/image-viewer-using-bootstrap-carousel)? How many types of containers are there in Bootstrap?

Containers are the most basic layout commonly used to show the main content or section of your HTML file. They have some padding, margin and through some CSS we will adjust or align the content within it. While containers can be nested, most of the layouts do not require nested containers as per the requirement of the developer.
Bootstrap comes with three different containers:
- .container, which sets a max-width at each responsive breakpoint
- .container-fluid, which is width: 100% at all breakpoints
- .container-{breakpoint}, which is width: 100% until the specified breakpoint
Below is an example for the container :
