## What it is
Messenger is a client-side JavaScript library for showing Growl-style notification messages in web apps. It supports updatable messages, action links (undo/cancel), AJAX request wrapping with progress/success/error feedback, and CSS theming.

## Use cases
- show toast notifications in a web app
- display growl-style alerts
- wrap ajax requests with progress and error messages
- add undo or cancel actions to notifications
- themeable notification messages for frontend

## When to choose
- you need rich, updatable notifications with bound actions in a jQuery/Backbone-era app
- you want CSS-themeable toasts with AJAX retry integration

## When to avoid
- you need a modern framework (React/Vue) notification component
- you need an actively developed library with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: notifications, toasts, growl-style-alerts, jquery, backbone, ajax-progress, javascript
