Carbon Design System
Carbon Design System is an open-source design system developed by IBM for building consistent, accessible, and scalable user interfaces across web and mobile applications. It provides a comprehensive set of reusable components, design guidelines, and tools to help teams create cohesive digital experiences aligned with IBM's design language. The system includes React, Vue, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript implementations, along with design assets and documentation.
Developers should use Carbon when building enterprise-level applications, especially those requiring accessibility compliance (e.g., WCAG), consistency across large teams, or integration with IBM products and services. It's ideal for projects where design scalability, maintainability, and adherence to a professional design language are priorities, such as internal tools, dashboards, or customer-facing platforms in industries like finance, healthcare, or technology.
