## What it is
Switchery is a small standalone JavaScript component that converts default HTML checkbox inputs into iOS 7 style toggle switches. It is customizable via colors, size, speed, and disabled-state options, and works in all modern browsers including IE8+.

## Use cases
- turn html checkboxes into ios style toggle switches
- add toggle switches to a plain javascript form
- customize switch colors and sizes to match a design
- enable or disable switches programmatically
- use ios-style switches in a rails or angular app

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free checkbox-to-switch converter
- you need an iOS 7 look for toggles in a legacy or vanilla JS project
- you need IE8+ browser support

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern app with a component framework that already ships toggle components
- you need actively maintained software with a declared license
- you need accessible, WCAG-compliant form controls out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
