What is BEM?

BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is a front-end methodology for developing web interfaces. It promotes reusable components and code sharing by dividing the user interface into independent blocks, elements within blocks, and modifiers that define the state or appearance of blocks/elements. It aims to create maintainable and scalable CSS and HTML by providing naming conventions and a modular structure.
