## What it is
A lightweight jQuery plugin for animated, cross-browser scrolling to elements, positions, or selectors. It supports many target formats (numbers, percentages, selectors, DOM elements) and customizable settings like axis, duration, and easing.

## Use cases
- smooth scroll to anchor links
- animate page scroll to an element
- scroll to top or bottom of page with animation
- scroll a container to a specific percentage
- implement table of contents navigation with smooth scrolling

## When to choose
- your project already uses jQuery and needs animated scrolling
- you need flexible scroll target formats like selectors, percentages, or relative offsets
- you need cross-browser compatible scrolling behavior for legacy browsers

## When to avoid
- your project does not use jQuery
- you are building a modern app where native scrollIntoView or CSS scroll-behavior suffices
- you need scroll features beyond animation, such as scroll-spy or infinite scroll

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, smooth-scrolling, anchors, scroll-animation, jquery
