## What it is
MixItUp is a high-performance, dependency-free JavaScript library for animated DOM manipulation, enabling filtering, sorting, insertion and removal of elements with smooth animations. It works with existing HTML/CSS layouts including flexbox and responsive designs, and is now fully open source under Apache-2.0 with the project archived.

## Use cases
- filter a portfolio grid with animations
- sort product cards in a catalog
- animate adding and removing DOM elements in a list
- build a filterable gallery without jQuery
- add animated filtering to a responsive flexbox layout

## When to choose
- you need animated filtering/sorting of DOM elements with zero dependencies
- you want a stable, battle-tested library that works with existing HTML and CSS
- you don't need ongoing support or new features

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or support
- you need framework-native solutions (e.g. React/Vue components) rather than vanilla DOM manipulation
- you require features beyond filtering/sorting such as complex state management

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, state-management
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: vanilla-js, dom-manipulation, filtering, sorting, dependency-free, archived, nodejs
