## What it is
ng-admin is an AngularJS-based framework that generates a complete administration GUI (datagrids, filters, forms, dashboards) on top of any RESTful API. It is now in maintenance mode, having been superseded by its React-based successor react-admin.

## Use cases
- build an admin panel for a REST API
- generate CRUD interface for existing backend
- add admin dashboard to AngularJS app
- create data management GUI without writing frontend code
- admin interface with datagrids and filters
- manage multiple related models via admin UI

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x application needing an admin UI
- you want a quick CRUD admin over a RESTful API and are fine with unmaintained code
- you need a proven admin framework with MIT license and no ongoing development

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use react-admin instead
- you need long-term support or security updates
- your stack is React, Vue, or modern Angular
- you need GraphQL or non-REST backends
