## What it is
Opentip is an open-source JavaScript tooltip library that renders styled tooltips with stems, CSS3 animations, and optional AJAX-downloaded content. It works framework-agnostically via adapters for jQuery, Prototype, Ender, Component, or native JavaScript.

## Use cases
- add tooltips to website elements
- show tooltips on hover or click
- load tooltip content via ajax
- position tooltips with stems and joints
- create custom tooltip styles
- tooltip library that works with jquery

## When to choose
- you need feature-rich, styleable tooltips with stems and animations in a browser app
- you want declarative tooltips via HTML data attributes
- you use jQuery, Prototype, or no framework and need an adapter-based tooltip

## When to avoid
- you need a actively maintained library - the last release was 2020 and the project appears dormant
- you need React/Vue-native tooltip components
- you require IE7/IE8-era canvas rendering workarounds in modern browsers only

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation, http-client
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: tooltip, javascript, jquery-adapter, prototype, css3-animations, ajax-content
