Ant Design

Enterprise-grade React UI library with design system, i18n, and rich components.

Overview

Ant Design is an enterprise-class UI design system and React component library developed by Ant Group. It provides a comprehensive set of high-quality React components built on a unified design language, enabling developers to build modern, intelligent, and delightful user interfaces.

The design system is built on four core values—Natural, Certain, Meaningful, and Growing—and includes extensive design guidelines, patterns, and resources. Ant Design supports TypeScript, internationalization for dozens of languages, powerful theme customization, and works across modern browsers, server-side rendering, and Electron environments.

Beyond React, the design system has been implemented in multiple frameworks including Angular (NG-ZORRO), Vue, Blazor, and others, making it a widely-adopted standard for enterprise product development.
