FormControlLabel vs. InputLabel in Material UI

Question

What is the difference (in purpose and/or behavior) between a FormControlLabel and an InputLabel in Material-UI (React) version 4+?

Answer 1

See Comparison:

• An InputLabel is a specific kind of FormLabel. It has class MuiInputLabel-root and MuiFormLabel-root applied in the DOM
• A FormLabel only has class MuiInputLabel-root applied and so is not an InputLabel
• An InputLabel component is both a standalone component and is a compositional component inside a TextField.
