Tag-it is a jQuery UI plugin that turns list or input elements into tag editing widgets with autocomplete and tag suggestion support. It is explicitly unmaintained and end-of-life, with tagify recommended as a replacement.

Use cases

  • add tag input fields to web forms
  • autocomplete tag suggestions from a remote source
  • let users enter multiple tags in a single field
  • pre-populate tags from existing list items
  • theme a tag widget with jQuery UI Themeroller

When to choose

  • you are maintaining a legacy jQuery/jQuery UI codebase that already uses tag-it
  • you need a simple, MIT-licensed tag widget with no build tooling

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - the project is unmaintained with many open PRs
  • you want active development and support - use tagify instead
  • you are not already using jQuery and jQuery UI
