## What it is
Jedi is a static analysis library for Python focused on autocompletion, goto functionality, refactoring, and code search. It is typically embedded in IDEs and editor plugins, with a reference Vim plugin (jedi-vim) and use by many language servers.

## Use cases
- python autocompletion in my editor
- go to definition for python code
- find all references to a python function
- static analysis and type inference for python
- refactor python code programmatically
- add code completion to a vim plugin
- build a python language server

## When to choose
- you need a Python completion/static-analysis engine to embed in an editor plugin or tool
- you want a simple, well-tested Python API for goto, references, and refactoring
- you use Vim, Emacs, or a language server built on Jedi

## When to avoid
- you want an actively developed successor - the author recommends Zuban, a Rust-based language server
- you need a full standalone IDE or LSP server out of the box
- you work in a language other than Python
