## What it is
A React library providing beautiful, accessible drag-and-drop reordering for lists, with mouse, keyboard, and touch support. It is now archived and deprecated in favor of Pragmatic Drag and Drop.

## Use cases
- reorder items in a list with drag and drop in react
- accessible drag and drop with keyboard and screen reader support
- move items between multiple lists in react
- sortable kanban board columns in react
- drag and drop with virtualized lists

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing codebase already using react-beautiful-dnd
- you need a battle-tested drag-and-drop library for React lists and accept it is unmaintained

## When to avoid
