## What it is
PivotTable.js is a JavaScript pivot table (pivot grid, cross-tab) library with a drag'n'drop UI for summarizing and exploring datasets in the browser, built on jQuery/jQueryUI and originally written in CoffeeScript. Optional add-ons render the summary table as charts, and it integrates with Jupyter and RStudio.

## Use cases
- summarize a CSV dataset into an interactive pivot table in the browser
- let users drag and drop fields to explore data like an Excel pivot table
- render pivot tables as charts in a web dashboard
- embed interactive cross-tab analysis in a Jupyter notebook
- add ad-hoc data exploration to a web app

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-light pivot table with drag'n'drop in a jQuery-based web app
- you want quick interactive data summarization on CSV or JSON data in the browser
- you need pivot tables in Jupyter or RStudio notebooks

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern React app - use react-pivottable instead
- you need heavy-duty big-data analytics or server-side aggregation
- you want a framework-free, modern-maintained component without jQuery dependencies
