jsPDF is a JavaScript library for generating PDF documents entirely client-side in the browser, with Node.js support as well. It lets developers create PDFs programmatically with text, images, and vector graphics without a server.

Use cases

generate pdf invoices in the browser
create pdf reports from javascript
export html page data to pdf client-side
generate downloadable pdf without a server
create pdf documents in node.js
add pdf export to a web app

When to choose

you need to generate PDFs entirely in the browser without server round-trips
you want a mature, widely used MIT-licensed JavaScript PDF library
you need both browser and Node.js PDF generation from one API

When to avoid

you need to parse or extract text from existing PDFs rather than create them
you need pixel-perfect conversion of complex HTML/CSS layouts to PDF
you are generating PDFs in a non-JavaScript stack
