Use cases
---------
* Enhancing native selects with search.
* Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
* Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via AJAX and have them
searchable.
* Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nesting. Select2
does not have this restriction.
* Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
* Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based
on the search term.
* Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results
are scrolled to the end.
* Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.

2017-10-09 00:36:36 +02:00
Third party developers have created plugins for platforms which allow Select2 to be integrated more natively and quickly. For many platforms, additional plugins are not required because Select2 acts as a standard `<select>` box.
