## What it is
React-MDL is a set of React components built on top of Google's Material Design Lite (v1.2.1), providing Material Design UI elements like buttons, cards, and layouts. The library is now deprecated, with the maintainers recommending Material Design Components (material-components-web) instead.

## Use cases
- build a react app with material design components
- material design lite react buttons and cards
- material design ui components for react
- mdl layout components compatible with react
- styled react components following google material design

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy React app already built with Material Design Lite v1
- you need React wrappers around the classic MDL v1.2.1 components

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the library is deprecated in favor of material-components-web
- you need actively maintained components or modern Material Design (M2/M3) support
- you need React 18+ compatibility guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework, css-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, material-design, material-design-lite, deprecated, component-library, nodejs, web-server
