## What it is
equalize.js is a small jQuery plugin that equalizes the height or width of a set of elements, called on their parent. It supports all jQuery dimension methods and options for resetting dimensions and targeting specific child elements.

## Use cases
- make columns in a row the same height
- equalize the width of a set of buttons
- recalculate equal heights after dynamically adding elements
- equalize heights of paragraphs inside a container
- match outer heights of cards in a grid

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need a tiny drop-in fix for uneven element heights or widths
- you need to re-equalize elements after dynamic DOM changes

## When to avoid
- you are not using jQuery
- starting a modern project - CSS flexbox or grid solves this natively
- you need actively maintained software with a formal license file
