## What it is
VanillaMasker is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for masking text input fields, supporting patterns like money, phone numbers, and dates. It works cross-browser and cross-device without requiring jQuery or Zepto.

## Use cases
- mask money input in a form

- you want money/number formatting on inputs without loading jQuery

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with recent fixes
- you use a modern framework with its own masking ecosystem (e.g. React/Vue mask components)
