## What it is
Dojo 1 is the core package of the classic Dojo Toolkit, a JavaScript library providing DOM manipulation, Ajax, class-based inheritance, events, promises, data stores, drag-and-drop, and internationalization. It also underpins the Dijit widget framework, GFX vector graphics, charting, and dgrid data grids, and remains in maintenance while new development focuses on modern Dojo.

## Use cases
- manipulate the dom and query with css selectors in javascript
- build enterprise web apps with prebuilt ui widgets
- animate html elements without sacrificing performance
- load javascript modules asynchronously with an amd loader
- render vector graphics and charts in the browser
- build mobile-friendly data grids with editing and pagination
- internationalize a legacy javascript web application

## When to choose
- maintaining or extending an existing Dojo 1 codebase
- supporting legacy enterprise apps that depend on Dijit widgets or ArcGIS integration
- you need a battle-tested all-in-one toolkit for older browsers

## When to avoid
- starting a new modern web project (use modern Dojo or another framework)
- you want a component ecosystem with active community momentum
- you need a lightweight modern build with ES modules and tree-shaking
