## What it is
An enhanced HTML5 file input jQuery plugin for Bootstrap 5.x/4.x/3.x that provides advanced file picker and upload controls. It supports file previews for images, text, video, audio and more, AJAX uploads, drag-and-drop, and resumable chunked uploads.

## Use cases
- upload multiple files with ajax in a bootstrap form
- preview images and videos before uploading
- implement resumable chunked file uploads
- add drag-and-drop file picker to a web page
- show upload progress with delete and preview actions

## When to choose
- your site uses Bootstrap and jQuery and needs a rich file input
- you need file previews, multiple selection, and ajax upload out of the box
- you require resumable or chunked upload support

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue with its own ecosystem components
- you need a dependency-free vanilla JS uploader
- your project does not use Bootstrap styling
