## What it is
Bootbox.js is a small JavaScript library that wraps Bootstrap modals to provide programmatic alert(), confirm(), prompt(), and custom dialog boxes without manual DOM or event handler management. It mimics native JavaScript dialogs while using Bootstrap's styling and a callback-based API.

## Use cases
- show styled alert dialogs instead of native alert()
- ask users for confirmation before destructive actions
- collect user input with a prompt dialog
- build custom flexible modal dialogs with Bootstrap styling
- replace verbose Bootstrap modal markup with one-line calls
- localize dialog button text with built-in locales

## When to choose
- you already use Bootstrap and jQuery and want easy modal dialogs
- you want native-dialog-like alert/confirm/prompt with nicer styling
- you need programmatic dialogs without writing modal markup and event wiring

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Bootstrap or jQuery
- you need thread-blocking dialogs like native confirm()
- you use a modern component framework with its own modal system (e.g., React, Vue)

- artifact type: library
