## What it is
A community-maintained collection of snippet files for many programming languages, in both snipMate and UltiSnips formats, for use with Vim and Neovim snippet engines. It provides the default snippets consumed by engines like UltiSnips, snipMate, NeoSnippet, nvim-snippy, and LuaSnip.

## Use cases
- add code snippets to vim
- default snippets for ultisnips
- expand abbreviations into code templates in neovim
- share snippets across multiple snippet engines
- get snippets for many programming languages in one plugin

## When to choose
- you use UltiSnips, snipMate, LuaSnip, neosnippet, or nvim-snippy and want a broad, maintained snippet library
- you want community-maintained snippets for many languages without writing your own

## When to avoid
- you use a snippet engine like xptemplate with an incompatible syntax
- you need only a handful of custom snippets and prefer authoring them yourself

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim, neovim, snippets, ultisnips, snipmate, luasnip
