These are the three main container types in Bootstrap:
.container:
Fixed max-width at each breakpoint
Responsive horizontal margins that center the content
Max-widths: 540px (sm), 720px (md), 960px (lg), 1140px (xl), 1320px (xxl)
.container-fluid:
100% width at all breakpoints
No maximum width restrictions
Edge-to-edge content spanning full viewport width
.container-{breakpoint}:
100% width until the specified breakpoint
Then behaves like .container with fixed max-width
Available: .container-sm, .container-md, .container-lg, .container-xl, .container-xxl
<div class="container">Fixed-width responsive container</div>
<div class="container-fluid">Full-width container</div>
<div class="container-md">Fluid until medium breakpoint, then fixed</div>
