Kebab Case

Kebab case is commonly used in programming and web development for naming URLs, CSS class names, and files. It ensures consistent, readable identifiers by replacing spaces with hyphens and using only lowercase letters. This format is especially useful for web-safe URLs and improves SEO by making links more human-readable.

In contrast to snake case, which uses underscores, and camel case, which uses capital letters to separate words, kebab case relies on hyphens to maintain clarity. Also known as dash-case, it's widely adopted in frontend projects and static site generators.

Developers prefer kebab case for its simplicity, visual clarity, and compatibility with HTML and web standards. It also helps avoid syntax issues in environments where spaces or capital letters might break functionality. Using kebab case promotes better file structure, consistency, and maintainability in collaborative projects.
