## What it is
metisMenu is a jQuery plugin for creating collapsible, accordion-style menus with smooth expand/collapse animations. It supports nested submenus, arrow indicators, and accessible aria-expanded state toggling.

## Use cases
- build a collapsible sidebar navigation menu
- add an accordion menu to a jQuery site
- create nested dropdown menus with smooth animations
- make an admin dashboard sidebar with expandable sections
- add accessible collapsible menus with aria-expanded support

## When to choose
- your project already uses jQuery and needs collapsible menus
- you need a lightweight, battle-tested accordion menu with accessibility support
- you want nested multi-level navigation menus with minimal setup

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern framework app (React, Vue) without jQuery
- you need IE browser support, which this version dropped
- you want a full-featured navigation component library rather than a single-purpose menu plugin

- function: ui-components, animation, frontend-framework
