hamburger menu has become an std icon for Navigation, it has become so popular the even most mainstream platforms and apps use them nowadays.

It was named in this manner because of its resemblance to the Hamburger.

**Why use Hamburger Menu?**

The hamburger menu gives the Website a neater and cleaner way to navigate or by organizing content. Also, Designers have been using the Hamburger menu for so long that it has become a standard itself.

**How to Create Hamburger-menu:**

There are multiple ways to create Hamburger Menu.
Today we’ll be creating a Hamburger Menu with the help of HTML, CSS & JavaScript. Without further ado, Let’s get right into it.

**HTML**

```
  <body>
    <nav>
      <div class="navbar">
        <div class="container nav-container">
            <input class="checkbox" type="checkbox" name="" id="" />
            <div class="hamburger-lines">
              <span class="line line1"></span>
              <span class="line line2"></span>
              <span class="line line3"></span>
            </div>  
          <div class="logo">
            <h1>Navbar</h1>
          </div>
          <div class="menu-items">
            <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">about</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">blogs</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">portfolio</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">contact</a></li>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </nav>
  </body>
```

There is all HTML code for the Hamburger Menu javascript. Now, you can see output without CSS, then we write CSS for our Hamburger Menu.
