## What it is
Dockview is a zero-dependency docking layout manager for the web that provides tabs, groups, grids, splitviews, drag-and-drop, floating panels, and popout windows. It ships framework bindings for React, Vue, Angular, and vanilla TypeScript/JavaScript.

## Use cases
- build IDE-like interfaces with dockable panels in the browser
- add draggable tab groups and split panes to a React app
- save and restore user dashboard layouts
- create floating panels and popout windows in a web app
- build a resizable grid or splitview layout in Vue or Angular
- implement VS Code-style collapsible sidebars in a web app

## When to choose
- you need IDE-style docking, tabs, and drag-and-drop layouts with zero runtime dependencies
- you want multi-framework support (React, Vue, Angular, vanilla JS) from one layout engine
- you need layout serialization so users can persist and restore their workspace
- you want touch/mobile support, floating groups, and popout windows out of the box

## When to avoid
- you only need simple static CSS layouts without docking or drag-and-drop
- you need a full commercial support contract without evaluating the enterprise licence
- your project is not browser-based (e.g. native mobile or desktop without a web view)
- you require an MIT-only dependency chain and cannot review the NOASSERTION licence file
