## What it is
The official jQuery UI library, a curated set of user interface interactions (draggable, sortable, resizable), effects, widgets (datepicker, dialog, tabs, autocomplete), and themes built on top of jQuery. It is now in maintenance-only mode, receiving compatibility updates for modern jQuery versions and browsers but no new features.

## Use cases
- add a date picker to a form
- make elements draggable and sortable
- show modal dialogs and tooltips
- add autocomplete to an input field
- theme a jQuery-based web app
- maintain a legacy jQuery application

## When to choose
- you have an existing jQuery codebase and need widgets or interactions
- you need a battle-tested datepicker, dialog, or sortable list with theming
- you want accessible widgets compatible with jQuery 1.12 through 4.x

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new modern frontend project (use a modern component framework instead)
- you need new features or long-term active development
- you need IE or legacy browser support

## Facets
