## What it is
company-mode is a modular in-buffer text and code completion framework for GNU Emacs, standing for 'complete anything'. It uses pluggable back-ends and front-ends to retrieve and display completion candidates, with built-in back-ends like Clang, Dabbrev, and a CAPF bridge to Emacs's standard completion-at-point facility.

## Use cases
- autocomplete code in emacs
- in-buffer text completion for emacs
- plug custom completion backends into emacs
- complete anything while typing in emacs
- integrate lsp or clang completion in emacs

## When to choose
- you use GNU Emacs and want automatic in-buffer completion
- you need a pluggable completion framework with many back-ends
- you want completion that works with any major mode via CAPF

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor like VS Code or Vim
- you prefer Emacs's built-in corfu or completion-at-point-only workflows

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: emacs-lisp, code-completion, autocomplete, melpa, emacs
