## What it is
Awesomplete is an ultra lightweight (~2KB minified and gzipped) autocomplete widget for HTML inputs with zero dependencies, built with modern web standards. It works via simple HTML attributes or a small JavaScript API, offering extensive customization of filtering, minimum characters, and suggestion sources.

## Use cases
- add autocomplete suggestions to a text input
- replace native datalist with a better autocomplete dropdown
- lightweight typeahead without jQuery or frameworks
- autocomplete from a static list via HTML attributes
- customizable suggestion filtering for search boxes

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free autocomplete for plain HTML/JS pages
- you want declarative setup via HTML attributes with JS customization available
- you need broad browser support with a native datalist fallback

## When to avoid
- you need rich features like remote async loading, multi-select tags, or virtualized lists
- your project already uses a component framework with its own autocomplete components
- you need active development with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: autocomplete, zero-dependencies, vanilla-javascript, input-widget, datalist, nodejs
