## What it is
petite-vue is a ~6kb subset of Vue optimized for progressive enhancement, providing the same template syntax and reactivity model as standard Vue. It is designed for sprinkling small amounts of interactivity onto server-rendered HTML pages without a build step.

## Use cases
- add interactivity to server-rendered html pages
- sprinkle vue-like reactivity without a build step
- lightweight alternative to full vue for small widgets
- progressive enhancement of existing html
- toggle counters and forms on static pages with vue syntax

## When to choose
- you want Vue template syntax on a server-rendered page with no bundler
- you need a tiny (~6kb) reactive layer for small interactive islands
- you are progressively enhancing existing HTML rather than building an SPA

## When to avoid
- you are building a full single-page application - use standard Vue
- you need components, transitions, or the broader Vue ecosystem
- you need guaranteed bug fixes or new features - the project is in minimal maintenance mode

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: frontend-framework, state-management, templating
