## What it is
enquire.js is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for programmatically responding to CSS media queries via match/unmatch callbacks. It enables advanced responsive behavior in JavaScript beyond what CSS media queries alone can express.

## Use cases
- run javascript when a media query matches
- responsive behavior in javascript
- trigger callbacks on breakpoint changes
- conditionally load components based on screen size
- handle media query transitions in js

## When to choose
- you need JavaScript logic tied to CSS media query state
- you want a tiny (~0.8kb) dependency-free solution
- you need match/unmatch lifecycle callbacks for responsive behavior

## When to avoid
- you only need CSS-level responsive styling
- you use modern CSS/JS features like matchMedia directly or container queries
- you need an actively developed library with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: media-queries, responsive-design, matchmedia, javascript, no-dependencies, nodejs
