## What it is
jqTree is a jQuery tree widget for displaying hierarchical tree structures in HTML. It supports JSON data, AJAX loading, drag-and-drop, lazy loading, state saving, and keyboard navigation, and is written in TypeScript.

## Use cases
- display a hierarchical tree in a web page
- render tree structure from JSON data
- load tree nodes on demand via ajax
- drag and drop tree nodes to reorder
- save and restore tree expand/collapse state
- build a file or category browser with jQuery

## When to choose
- your project already uses jQuery and needs a tree view
- you need drag-and-drop reordering of hierarchical nodes
- you want lazy loading of tree nodes from a server
- you need keyboard support and state persistence in a tree widget

## When to avoid
- your app uses a modern framework like React or Vue without jQuery
- you need a virtualized tree for very large datasets
- you want a standalone tree component with no jQuery dependency

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