## What it is
A Babel plugin that transpiles JSX syntax into Vue 2.0 render function calls using the h (createElement) function. It allows Vue 2 developers to write component render logic in JSX instead of template syntax.

## Use cases
- write Vue 2 components using JSX instead of templates
- transpile JSX to Vue render functions with Babel
- use JSX in Vue 2 single-file or class-based components
- migrate React-style JSX authoring to Vue 2 projects

## When to choose
- you are on Vue 2 and prefer JSX over template syntax for render functions
- your build already uses Babel with a module bundler like Webpack
- you need fine-grained programmatic control over vnodes

## When to avoid
- you are using Vue 3, which has its own JSX plugin (@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx)
- you prefer Vue template syntax or don't use Babel
- you need event modifiers like v-on:keyup.enter, which JSX here does not support
