Vue 2 is the end-of-life repository for Vue.js, a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces that scales from a lightweight library to a full-featured framework. It reached End of Life on December 31, 2023, and all active development has moved to the vuejs/core repository for Vue 3.

Use cases

• build a reactive single-page web application
• add incremental interactivity to an existing server-rendered page
• maintain a legacy Vue 2 codebase
• learn how a progressive frontend framework works
• build component-based user interfaces with a virtual DOM

When to choose

• you are maintaining or patching an existing Vue 2 application that cannot be upgraded
• you need a framework whose distribution packages remain available on CDNs and npm despite EOL
• you are studying Vue 2 source code or writing migration tooling toward Vue 3

When to avoid

• you are starting any new project - use Vue 3 (vuejs/core) instead
• you need security fixes, bug fixes, or new features, since Vue 2 receives none
• you have compliance requirements about unmaintained software without a paid extended-support plan
