A lightweight jQuery plugin for applying input masks to form fields and arbitrary HTML elements. It supports string, numeric, and mixed masks, reverse masks, callbacks, and data-attribute initialization.

Use cases

• format phone number inputs with a mask
• mask date and time fields in a form
• apply currency/money masks to numeric inputs
• mask zip code or CPF/CNPJ fields
• apply masks to dynamically added form elements
• mask content of div elements, not just inputs

When to choose

• you already use jQuery and need quick input masking
• you need masks on any HTML element, not just inputs
• you need reverse masks for numeric/currency fields
• you need compatibility with legacy browsers and jQuery 1.7+

When to avoid

• you are building a modern framework app without jQuery (use framework-native mask libraries)
• you need accessibility-first unmasked input handling
• the project needs actively developed dependencies
