## What it is
Dataset.js is a JavaScript library for managing data behind client-side visualizations, handling loading, parsing, sorting, filtering, and querying of datasets including realtime data. It is part of the Miso Toolkit and works in both the browser and Node.js.

## Use cases
- load and parse csv or json data in the browser for charts
- filter and sort tabular data client-side
- create derivative datasets from a base dataset
- manage realtime data feeds for d3 visualizations
- query datasets with column-based operations in javascript

## When to choose
- building a legacy browser-based visualization that needs in-memory tabular data manipulation
- you need dataset loading, parsing, and derivative datasets in one small library

## When to avoid
- starting a new modern project - the library is unmaintained with no releases since 2017
- you need server-side big data processing or a dataframe library with active support
- you need ES modules or modern tooling - it ships AMD/script-tag builds with old dependencies
