## What it is
A dependency-free JavaScript library that converts strings into URL-friendly slugs, transliterating foreign symbols to their English equivalents. It works in browsers and CommonJS/AMD module loaders and supports customizable separators, locale-specific transliterations, and an extensible character map.

## Use cases
- generate url slugs from article titles
- convert a string to a slug for seo-friendly urls
- slugify filenames or ids
- transliterate accented characters to ascii
- create clean urls from user input
- customize slug separator character

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, zero-dependency slug generator in JavaScript
- you need browser and Node.js support
- you need locale-aware transliteration or an extensible character map

## When to avoid
- you need slug generation in a non-JavaScript language
- you need full Unicode-to-ASCII transliteration beyond a character map
- you need framework-level routing or URL rewriting, not just string conversion

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: serialization, parser
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: slugify, url-slug, transliteration, unicode, string-utils, no-dependencies, natural-language-processing, nodejs
