## What it is
Yox is a lightweight MVVM JavaScript framework similar to Vue, with reactive data binding, directives, computed properties, and component support. Its distinguishing feature is compatibility all the way back to IE6.

## Use cases
- build reactive single-page UIs with a tiny framework
- support legacy browsers like IE6 in web apps
- two-way data binding for forms without heavy dependencies
- component-based frontend development with a Vue-like API
- lightweight alternative to Vue for simple pages

## When to choose
- you must support very old browsers such as IE6
- you want Vue-like reactivity in a much smaller bundle
- your app is simple enough to not need a large ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need a modern ecosystem, tooling, and community like Vue or React
- your project requires frequent updates and long-term active maintenance
- you only target modern browsers and don't need legacy support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: frontend-framework, state-management, templating, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: mvvm, reactive, vue-like, ie6-support, lightweight, typescript
