Masonry is a JavaScript library for cascading grid layouts, placing elements in optimal position based on available vertical space. It works with vanilla JavaScript, jQuery, or declarative HTML attributes and is MIT licensed.
Use cases
- create a pinterest-style cascading grid layout
- lay out variable-height cards in columns
- build a masonry image gallery
- arrange blog post cards in a compact grid
- avoid gaps when items have different heights in a grid
When to choose
- you need a classic masonry/cascading column layout with plain JavaScript or jQuery
- you want a small, battle-tested MIT-licensed layout library
- you don't need filtering, sorting, or drag-and-drop
When to avoid
- you need sorting and filtering (use Isotope)
- you need bin-packing or draggable layouts (use Packery)
- your project uses modern CSS grid and can avoid a JS dependency
