## What it is
jQuery Mobile is an HTML5-based touch-optimized UI framework built on jQuery and jQuery UI for creating responsive mobile web sites and apps with widgets, touch events, and Ajax page transitions. The project was officially deprecated in October 2021 and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- build a touch-optimized mobile web app with html5
- create a responsive site that works on smartphones and tablets
- add touch events and page transitions to a jquery site
- theme a mobile ui with drag-and-drop themeroller
- maintain a legacy jquery mobile application

## When to choose
- you are maintaining or extending an existing legacy jQuery Mobile codebase
- you are locked to old jQuery versions (1.8-2.x) and need a mobile UI layer

## When to avoid
- starting any new mobile web project - the project is officially deprecated and unmaintained
- you need modern tooling, security patches, or current browser support
- you want a modern alternative like React, Vue, or a current mobile framework
