## What it is
AlloyUI is a JavaScript UI framework built on top of YUI3 that uses Bootstrap 3 HTML/CSS to provide a simple API for building highly scalable web applications. The repository is archived and deprecated, with future critical patches continuing in the liferay-frontend-projects monorepo.

## Use cases
- build scalable web application UIs with a YUI3-based framework
- use Bootstrap 3 components with a simple JavaScript API
- maintain legacy Liferay frontend code that depends on AlloyUI
- find UI widgets like datatables and galleries for older browsers including IE8
- migrate an AlloyUI-based project to the maintained monorepo

## When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing Liferay or AlloyUI-based application
- you need YUI3 + Bootstrap 3 compatibility for legacy browser support like IE8

## When to avoid
- starting a new web project - the framework is deprecated and archived
- you want a modern, actively maintained frontend framework
- you do not need YUI3 or legacy browser support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: frontend-framework, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: yui3, bootstrap-3, deprecated, liferay, javascript, nodejs
