Pure is a lightweight set of responsive CSS modules that provide a solid base, grid system, and common UI components. It is designed to be minimal, easy to customize, and works out of the box on all browsers.
Use cases
- Create a responsive grid layout for a web page
- Style buttons, forms, and tables without writing custom CSS
- Add a minimal navigation menu to a website
- Build a lightweight UI foundation for a single‑page application
- Include only the needed modules to keep CSS footprint tiny
When to choose
- You need a very small CSS footprint (under 5 KB gzipped)
- You prefer a framework that stays out of your way and is easy to override
- Your project requires only basic layout and UI components without heavy theming
- You want a pure CSS solution that works with any JavaScript framework
When to avoid
- You need a full‑featured component library with complex widgets
- You require built‑in theming, dark mode, or extensive design tokens
- Your project depends on JavaScript‑driven UI behavior baked into the framework
