Why kebab-case is popular on the web
kebab-case is lowercase words joined by hyphens. CSS class names and HTML attributes use it by default, and so do most web addresses. Search engines read hyphens as spaces between words, which makes hyphenated page addresses easy to understand.
kebab-case or snake_case?
Use kebab-case in places a hyphen is allowed, such as CSS, file names and web addresses. Use snake_case where hyphens would be read as a minus sign, such as variable names in Python or JavaScript objects.
