## What it is
A Vim plugin providing JSX syntax highlighting and indenting for React development, built on top of a base JavaScript syntax package like pangloss/vim-javascript. It is deprecated and no longer maintained, with the community recommending MaxMEllon/vim-jsx-pretty instead.

## Use cases
- syntax highlight jsx in vim
- indent jsx code in vim
- edit react components in vim
- vim plugin for jsx files
- highlight inline xml in javascript

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy codebase pinned to pre-2019 JavaScript tooling
- you specifically need this plugin's behavior and cannot switch

## When to avoid
- you use modern JavaScript/React tooling from 2019 onward
- you want actively maintained JSX support in vim
- you use the system vim JavaScript syntax

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: editor
- domain: frontend, developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
- tags: vim, jsx, react, syntax-highlighting, indentation, deprecated
