## What it is
Maroto is a Go library for generating PDFs using a Bootstrap-inspired grid system of rows, columns, and components, built on top of gofpdf. It handles automatic pagination and repeating headers, making it fast and simple to lay out documents programmatically.

## Use cases
- generate pdf invoices in go
- create pdf reports with tables
- build pdf documents with grid layout
- generate printable pdfs programmatically
- create pdfs with repeating headers across pages
- generate pdf receipts from go code

## When to choose
- you need programmatic PDF generation in Go with a simple grid layout
- you want Bootstrap-like row/column composition for PDFs
- you need automatic page breaks and repeating headers

## When to avoid
- you need HTML/CSS-to-PDF rendering
- you need complex typographic or vector graphics features beyond gofpdf
- your project is not in Go

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: pdf, templating
- domain: pdf, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: pdf-generation, grid-layout, bootstrap-inspired, gofpdf, report-generation
