Overview
Ant Design is an enterprise-grade UI design language and React component library created by Alibaba. It provides a comprehensive set of over 60 high-quality components designed for building rich, interactive enterprise applications — from basic buttons and forms to complex data tables, tree selectors, and date pickers.
Ant Design v5 introduced a CSS-in-JS theming system with design tokens, replacing the older Less-based approach. The library supports dynamic theming, dark mode, and fine-grained token customization. Its design language is widely adopted in the enterprise world, particularly in Asian markets.
When to Use
Ant Design is the right choice for enterprise applications, admin dashboards, and data-heavy internal tools where you need a comprehensive component set with consistent design. It’s particularly strong for applications that need complex data tables, forms, and internationalization.
