## What it is
jQuery Tools is a collection of user-interface components for websites built on jQuery, including tabs, tooltips, overlays, scrollables, and form tools. It was widely used in the jQuery era but has seen no releases since 2017 and lacks a license file.

## Use cases
- add tabs and accordions to a jQuery website
- show tooltips with pluggable effects
- create modal dialogs and overlays
- build scrollable carousels with infinite loops
- validate forms and add range and date inputs
- handle mousewheel and browser back button behavior

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery-era codebase that already depends on it
- you need lightweight UI widgets without a full framework

## When to avoid
- starting a new modern web project - use current UI libraries instead
- you need a maintained, licensed dependency
- your stack no longer uses jQuery

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, form-handling, animation, routing
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: jquery, tabs, tooltip, overlay, scrollable, form-validation, legacy, no-license
