## What it is
FlexNav is a jQuery plugin for building responsive, multi-level site navigation menus with dropdowns. It uses media queries and touch events to provide a mobile-first menu that works across desktop, touch screens, and keyboard users.

## Use cases
- add a responsive dropdown menu to a website
- make multi-level navigation work on touch screens
- build a mobile-first hamburger menu with jQuery
- create an accessible keyboard-navigable site menu
- implement a single-page fixed navigation with anchor links
- add hover-reveal submenus for desktop and tap targets for mobile

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy jQuery-based site needing responsive navigation
- you need touch and keyboard accessible dropdown menus with minimal setup
- you want a lightweight, dependency-light menu plugin with broad old-browser support

## When to avoid
- starting a modern project - the plugin is unmaintained since 2015 and jQuery-based
- you need framework integration with React, Vue, or similar
- you need advanced features like mega menus or SSR support
