## What it is
A deprecated jQuery plugin by Stripe for building credit card payment forms, providing input formatting and client-side validation of card numbers, expiry dates, and CVCs. It formats card number inputs with spacing and length restrictions and validates via the Luhn algorithm.

## Use cases
- format credit card number input with spaces every 4 digits
- validate credit card numbers client-side with Luhn check
- format and validate card expiry date fields
- restrict numeric input in payment forms
- detect card type (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) as user types

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery-based checkout form that already uses this library
- you need lightweight client-side card validation without Stripe Elements

## When to avoid
- starting a new payment form project - it is deprecated in favor of Stripe Elements or Stripe Checkout
- you need server-side card validation or payment processing
- your stack does not use jQuery

## Facets
- artifact type: library
