## What it is
Simplified JavaScript Jargon (SJSJ) is a community-driven glossary explaining JavaScript ecosystem buzzwords in short, simple definitions. It is hosted as a GitHub repository with a companion website at jargon.js.org featuring search.

## Use cases
- look up what a JavaScript buzzword means
- find a quick definition of terms like AJAX, Babel, or CommonJS
- reference a glossary when reading JavaScript docs
- learn JavaScript ecosystem terminology as a beginner
- search jargon definitions alphabetically

## When to choose
- you need short, plain-language explanations of JavaScript terms
- you want a community-maintained glossary to reference or link to
- you are a beginner confused by ecosystem buzzwords

## When to avoid
- you need in-depth documentation or tutorials on a specific tool
- you need up-to-date coverage of the newest frameworks, as updates have slowed
- you need a structured course rather than a reference glossary

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, search-engine
- domain: web-development, education, documentation, tutorials
- platform: browser
- tags: glossary, javascript-jargon, community-driven, static-site, reference, javascript, web-server
