## What it is
Gridster.js is a jQuery plugin for building draggable, multi-column grid layouts where widgets can span multiple columns and be dynamically added or removed. It is maintained only occasionally by Ducksboard and is not actively developed.

## Use cases
- build draggable dashboard widget layouts
- create sortable multi-column grid of widgets
- let users rearrange page widgets by dragging
- dynamically add and remove widgets from a grid
- build a drag-and-drop gridster-style dashboard

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need a draggable multi-column grid
- you want users to rearrange dashboard widgets with drag and drop
- you need dynamic widget add/remove in a grid layout

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue without jQuery
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates
- you need responsive or mobile-first grid layouts

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
