## What it is
A React component that renders hierarchical tree data with drag-and-drop reordering of nodes. It supports themes, data helper functions, and both ES6 and CommonJS builds.

## Use cases
- build a drag-and-drop file/folder tree in React
- let users reorder nested menu items
- edit hierarchical data like org charts or categories
- sortable tree view for nested comments
- rearrange nodes in a hierarchy with drag and drop

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made sortable tree component in a React app
- your project already uses React and you want quick hierarchical drag-and-drop

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with ongoing bug fixes
- you are not using React
- you need a headless or non-DOM tree solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: react, drag-and-drop, tree-view, hierarchical-data, sortable, unmaintained, nodejs
