It supports searching, remote data sets, and pagination of results. To get started, check out examples and documentation at Use cases --------- [](#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. Browser compatibility --------------------- [](#browser-compatibility) - IE 8+ - Chrome 8+ - Firefox 10+ - Safari 3+ - Opera 10.6+ Usage ----- [](#usage) You can source Select2 directly from a CDN like [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/select2) or [cdnjs](http://www.cdnjs.com/libraries/select2), [download it from this GitHub repo](https://github.com/select2/select2/releases), or use one of the integrations below. Integrations ------------ [](#integrations) 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 `` box.
