## What it is
Infinite Scroll is a JavaScript plugin that automatically loads and appends the next page of content as the user scrolls, avoiding full page reloads. It works as a standalone library or jQuery plugin and integrates with Masonry, Isotope, and Packery layouts.

## Use cases
- automatically load next page of blog posts as user scrolls
- replace pagination with endless scrolling on a product listing
- append AJAX-loaded content to a Masonry image grid
- load JSON pages and append rendered items
- prefill enough pages to fill the viewport on page load

## When to choose
- you have server-paginated pages and want seamless infinite scrolling
- you need a battle-tested plugin with jQuery support and layout integrations
- you want configurable next-page detection via selector, URL pattern, or function

## When to avoid
- your content is already fully client-rendered from an API with virtualized lists
- you need a framework-specific solution like React Query infinite queries
- SEO requires real paginated links and you prefer traditional pagination
