## What it is
A renderless Vue.js component library that enables lazy hydration of server-side rendered Vue components. It delays client-side hydration of pre-rendered HTML until components are idle, visible, interacted with, or never, improving Time to Interactive and Estimated Input Latency.

## Use cases
- delay hydration of ssr vue components until visible
- improve time to interactive of nuxt app
- make static ssr components never hydrate on client
- hydrate vue components on user interaction
- reduce javascript execution on initial page load
- lazy load and hydrate below-the-fold components

## When to choose
- you have a Vue 2 or Nuxt server-side rendered app with slow Time to Interactive
- you want per-component control over when hydration happens
- much of your page is static and never needs client-side interactivity

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with Vue 3, which has built-in lazy hydration support
- your app is purely client-side rendered with no SSR
- the library is unmaintained and you need long-term support
