## What it is
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
