| ### Difference with Space component |
|
|
| - Space is used to set the spacing between inline elements. It will add a wrapper element for each child element for inline alignment. Suitable for equidistant arrangement of multiple child elements in rows and columns. |
| - Flex is used to set the layout of block-level elements. It does not add a wrapper element. Suitable for layout of child elements in vertical or horizontal direction, and provides more flexibility and control. |
