What are the ways to styling a Django Form?

Question

I was working with Django forms, and to beautify the Django forms I came across widgets, and after learning it got to know that we can customize widgets in two ways:

1. Using widget instance or
2. Using widget class.

Later came across django-crispy and django-bootstrap that allow same beautification of the forms along with various other advantages over other.

But I was wondering, how many more such library / packages / apps are there, and is there any short of description for each, which might help me and others too.

Thanks

For simple design or not any extra validation in frontend bootstrap or crispy form is okay. But if you want to take advantages of custom css js then widget is better option obviously. I generally do:

• create a form using css, js even if in bootstrap
• Then pass the classes or id of the particular field in widget
