A tiny (~1.3kb minified and gzipped) dependency-free JavaScript plugin that creates a toggled, collapsible navigation menu for small screens. It uses CSS3 transitions and touch events for performance, includes a workaround for transitioning height: 0 to height: auto, and is built with accessibility in mind.

Use cases

• add a hamburger menu to a responsive website
• create a mobile toggle navigation without jQuery
• make a collapsible nav that works with screen readers
• build a lightweight responsive menu for small screens
• remove the 300ms tap delay on mobile navigation
• animate a nav from height 0 to height auto with CSS transitions
• support multiple navigation instances on one page

When to choose

• you need a very small, dependency-free responsive nav for a plain HTML/JS site
• you must support legacy browsers including IE 6+
• accessibility with screen readers and no-JS fallback is a requirement
• you want fast touch-screen navigation with CSS3 transitions

When to avoid

• you use a modern framework like React or Vue and want a component-based solution
• you need complex mega-menu or multi-level dropdown navigation
• you want an actively developed project with recent commits and ongoing maintenance
• you need a full CSS framework or design system rather than a single-purpose plugin
