## What it is
Selectivity.js is a modular, lightweight JavaScript selection library providing rich select boxes with single-select, multi-select, and tagging support. It ships as VanillaJS, jQuery/Zepto, and React builds and is officially deprecated and no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- replace native select boxes with a richer dropdown UI
- add multi-select inputs with search to a form
- implement tag input fields in a web app
- use a select2-like component in a React app
- use a select component via jQuery or Zepto
- build a custom lightweight select bundle with only needed modules

## When to choose
- you need a small select/dropdown component for a legacy jQuery or Zepto codebase
- you want a modular select library you can fork and maintain yourself
- you need tagging or multi-select inputs without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the library is deprecated and unmaintained
- you need ongoing bug fixes, security patches, or accessibility updates
- you use a modern component library that already includes a select component

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: select-box, dropdown, multiselect, jquery-plugin, react-component, tagging, deprecated, nodejs
