## What it is
jQuery Steps is a lightweight jQuery plugin for building wizard-style, multi-step UI components with accessibility and HTML5 support. It lets developers define steps via HTML markup or a JavaScript API and control navigation programmatically.

## Use cases
- create a multi-step checkout wizard
- build a step-by-step registration form
- turn long forms into paginated steps
- add tabbed step navigation to a page
- dynamically add or remove wizard steps via API

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need a quick wizard UI
- you need an accessible, HTML5-friendly step component
- you want a lightweight plugin without a full framework

## When to avoid
- your project uses React, Vue, or another modern framework without jQuery
- you need actively developed software with frequent updates
- you need complex state management beyond simple step navigation

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, wizard, multi-step-form, accessibility, html5, jquery
