## What it is
A modern, lightweight, and extensible drag and drop toolkit for the web with a framework-agnostic core and adapters for React, Vue, Svelte, and Solid. It supports pointer, mouse, touch, and keyboard input, sortable lists, multiple containers, and built-in accessibility features.

## Use cases
- build sortable lists in React
- drag and drop between multiple containers
- reorder items in a grid with drag and drop
- add keyboard-accessible drag and drop
- make elements draggable in Vue or Svelte
- build a kanban board with drag and drop
- support touch and pointer dragging on mobile web

## When to choose
- you need performant, accessible drag and drop in a modern frontend framework
- you need sortable lists, grids, or multi-container drag and drop
- you want a framework-agnostic core with React, Vue, Svelte, or Solid adapters
- you need keyboard and screen reader support for drag interactions

## When to avoid
- you need file drag and drop uploads from the OS rather than in-page element dragging
- you are building a native mobile or desktop app rather than a web interface
- you need a tiny one-off draggable modal where native HTML5 drag events suffice

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework, animation, accessibility
- domain: web-development, frontend, cross-platform
- platform: browser
- tags: drag-and-drop, sortable, react, vue, svelte, solidjs, typescript, keyboard-accessible, nodejs, web-server
