## What it is
A Svelte library providing drag-and-drop functionality via a custom Svelte action (use:dndzone). It supports nested containers, touch input, animations, and accessible keyboard-driven dragging with minimal configuration.

## Use cases
- add drag and drop to a svelte list
- build a trello-style kanban board in svelte
- sortable lists with touch support
- accessible drag and drop with keyboard support
- nested draggable containers in svelte
- reorder items with drag animations

## When to choose
- you're building with Svelte 3 or 4 and need feature-complete drag and drop
- you need nested dnd zones, touch support, or accessibility out of the box
- you want a small, dependency-free action-based API instead of a component wrapper

## When to avoid
- you're not using Svelte
- you need drag and drop for Svelte 5 without checking compatibility
- you need framework-agnostic or React/Vue drag and drop
