## What it is
Kaminari is a Ruby pagination library providing a clean, scope-based API for paginating records in web applications. It works with multiple ORMs (ActiveRecord, Mongoid, DataMapper) and frameworks (Rails, Sinatra, Grape) with customizable, I18n-aware view helpers.

## Use cases
- paginate ActiveRecord queries in a Rails app
- add page navigation to search results
- customize pagination link templates and styling
- paginate Mongoid or MongoMapper collections
- add pagination to a Sinatra or Grape API

## When to choose
- you need mature, widely-adopted pagination for Ruby web apps
- you want chainable scope-based pagination without polluting core classes
- you need customizable pagination views with i18n support

## When to avoid
- you use a non-Ruby stack
- you prefer newer alternatives like Pagy for maximum performance
- your project requires cursor-based pagination out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: web-framework, orm, templating, internationalization
- domain: web-development, backend, databases
- platform: ruby
- tags: pagination, ruby-gem, activerecord, sinatra, mongoid, rails
