## What it is
Materialize is a responsive front-end CSS framework based on Google's Material Design language, shipped with compiled CSS/JS, Sass sources, and vanilla JavaScript components like modals, sidenav, and carousels. It provides prebuilt styling, a responsive grid, and interactive widgets that can be included via CDN, npm, or Sass compilation.

## Use cases
- build a responsive website with material design styling
- add material design components like modals and navbars to a plain html site
- quickly prototype a frontend without a js framework
- customize a css framework via sass variables
- style forms, cards, and buttons with a consistent design system

## When to choose
- you want material design look with plain HTML/CSS/JS and no build step
- you need a lightweight responsive grid and prebuilt UI widgets
- you prefer Sass-based theming of a classic css framework

## When to avoid
- you need a component framework integrated with React, Vue, or Angular
- you want actively evolving modern tooling or utility-first css
- you need long-term active maintenance, as development has slowed

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: css-framework, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
