## What it is
Distpicker is a simple jQuery plugin for picking provinces, cities and districts of China with three-level cascading selects. It supports initialization via data attributes or the jQuery method, custom placeholders, and preset selections, but is now deprecated and no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- add a china province city district selector to a form
- three-level cascading dropdowns for chinese addresses
- pick provinces cities and districts in jquery
- chinese address picker for web forms
- populate select elements with china administrative divisions
- preselect a province city and district in a form

## When to choose
- you have a legacy jQuery codebase needing china province/city/district cascading selects
- you want a lightweight drop-in address picker with data-attribute initialization

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with updated administrative division data
- your project does not use jQuery
- you need pickers for countries other than china

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, china, province-city-district, cascading-selects, address-picker, deprecated, nodejs
