8Use cases
9---------
10
11* Enhancing native selects with search.
12* Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
13* Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via ajax and have them searchable.
14* Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nested. Select2 does not have this restriction.
15* Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
16* Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term.
17* Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results are scrolled to the end.
18* Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.
