## What it is
A Vue.js plugin for managing HTML head metadata (title, meta tags, link tags, HTML attributes) via a reactive `metaInfo` component property, with server-side rendering support. It is no longer actively maintained, with Vue 3 support only on the experimental 'next' branch.

## Use cases
- manage page titles and meta tags in a Vue.js app
- set per-page SEO metadata in Vue components
- server-side rendered meta tags for Vue SPA
- reactive document head management like react-helmet for Vue
- override parent component metadata from nested Vue components
- update meta description dynamically from component data

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Vue 2 app (e.g. Nuxt 2 or Gridsome) that already depends on vue-meta
- you need reactive, component-scoped HTML head management in Vue 2 with SSR support

## When to avoid
- starting a new Vue 3 project - use @unhead/vue or Unhead instead
- you need actively maintained software with ongoing bug fixes and security patches
- you use Nuxt 3, which has built-in head management

## Facets

- function: ssr, frontend-framework, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, frontend
