## What it is
A jQuery plugin that turns HTML select elements into multi-select dropdowns with checkboxes, with grouping, select-all, filtering, and placeholder support. It also ships a Vue component (Vue 2 and Vue 3 compatible) exposing the same API.

## Use cases
- multi-select dropdown with checkboxes for a form
- replace native select with searchable multi-select
- grouped options in a select list
- select all options in a dropdown
- Vue component for multiple select
- show selected items in a single row

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery or Vue and need a lightweight multi-select
- you want optgroup grouping, select-all, and filtering out of the box
- you need a small dependency with CDN/npm distribution and Bootstrap theming

## When to avoid
- you use React or another framework without jQuery
- you need a modern headless select with full accessibility guarantees
- you want a dependency-free vanilla JS component
