## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: form-handling, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: jquery-plugin, input-masking, form-fields, javascript
