## What it is
Voca is a comprehensive JavaScript string manipulation library offering functions for case conversion, trimming, padding, slugification, sprintf-style formatting, truncation, and escaping. It has a modular design allowing import of the whole library or individual functions, works in Node.js and browsers, and has no dependencies.

## Use cases
- convert strings to camelCase, kebabCase, or snakeCase
- slugify text for URLs
- format strings with sprintf-style placeholders
- truncate long strings with ellipsis
- pad or trim strings
- latinise accented characters
- escape HTML in strings

## When to choose
- you need a broad set of string utilities in JavaScript without pulling in heavy dependencies
- you want tree-shakeable, modular string functions for Node.js or the browser
- you need slugification, case conversion, or sprintf formatting out of the box

## When to avoid
- you only need one or two simple string operations that native JavaScript methods already cover
- your project requires a library with frequent recent updates and active development
- you need Unicode-aware text segmentation beyond basic string manipulation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: string-manipulation, slugify, sprintf, case-conversion, truncate, pad, zero-dependencies, modular, nodejs
