The justify-content property is used in the context of Flexbox, which is a layout model in CSS. It is applied to the parent container of a set of flex items and determines how the items are distributed along the main axis. Here are examples of how different values of justify-content affect the layout:

¶justify-content: flex-start

This aligns the flex items to the start of the container.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: flex-start; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: red;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: green;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: blue;"></div>
</div>

¶Output:

¶justify-content: flex-end

This aligns the flex items to the end of the container.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: flex-end; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: red;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: green;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: blue;"></div>
</div>

¶Output:

¶justify-content: center

This centers the flex items along the main axis.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: red;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: green;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: blue;"></div>
</div>

¶Output:

¶justify-content: space-between

This evenly distributes the flex items along the main axis, with the first item at the start and the last item at the end.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: red;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: green;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: blue;"></div>
</div>

¶Output:

¶justify-content: space-around

This evenly distributes the flex items along the main axis, with equal space around them.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: red;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: green;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: blue;"></div>
</div>

¶Output:

¶justify-content: space-evenly

This evenly distributes the flex items along the main axis with equal space around them.

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-evenly; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: red;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: green;"></div>
    <div style="width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: blue;"></div>
</div>

These examples illustrate how different justify-content values affect the layout of flex items within a container. You can experiment with these values and adjust the styles to see the changes in the layout.
