## What it is
AngularJS 1.x directives for building sortable, nestable lists using the native HTML5 Drag & Drop API. It supports simple lists, typed lists, multiselection, and nested structures like trees or WYSIWYG editors.

## Use cases
- sort items in a list with drag and drop
- build nested draggable lists in AngularJS
- drag items between multiple lists
- create a drag-and-drop tree or kanban-style structure
- add multiselect drag and drop to a list
- use native HTML5 drag and drop instead of a JS shim

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy AngularJS 1.x application
- you need nested sortable lists with the native HTML5 drag and drop API
- you only target desktop browsers (no touch support needed)

## When to avoid
- you are using modern Angular (2+) - use ngx-drag-drop or Angular Material CDK instead
- you need touch device support out of the box
- you are starting a new project, since the library is discontinued
