About

Masonry is a JavaScript layout library that produces a Pinterest-style cascading grid where elements are organized in a compact, space-efficient layout.

It positions items based on available vertical space, recalculates layouts dynamically as content or viewport changes, and is commonly used for image galleries, portfolios, and feed-based interfaces with variable-height content.

Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for HTML select elements that enhances dropdown inputs with advanced search and selection capabilities.

It supports client-side and remote data sources via AJAX, infinite scrolling of results for large datasets, tagging and tokenized selections, multi-select functionality, and customizable theming.
