## What it is
mmenu.js is a vanilla JavaScript plugin that turns standard HTML nav markup into app look-alike on- and off-canvas menus with sliding submenus. It is highly customizable via options, add-ons, CSS variables, and an API, with accessibility, RTL, and translation support.

## Use cases
- add an app-style off-canvas drawer menu to a website
- create mobile navigation with sliding submenus
- build an on-canvas sidebar menu for desktop sites
- add a searchable menu with a searchfield
- make an accessible, RTL-ready navigation menu
- theme a menu with dark mode and high contrast

## When to choose
- you need a polished, native-app-feeling mobile menu without a framework
- you want extensive options, add-ons, and an API for menu behavior
- you need accessibility features like screen reader support and translations
- you want a mature plugin with over a decade of development

## When to avoid
- your project is commercial and you cannot purchase a license (CC-BY-NC-4.0)
- you need IE11 support on the latest version (v9+ is ES6-only)
- you prefer a React/Vue component-based navigation solution

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, animation, routing
- domain: web-development, frontend, mobile-development, accessibility
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: off-canvas-menu, sliding-submenus, navigation, mobile-menu, vanilla-javascript, non-commercial-license
