It has tooltips, dropdowns, and other UI elements on a web page. It calculates the optimal placement of an element relative to its reference element. It can ensure that it stays within the viewport.

                                                                                                                                                                                      It can use Popper.js in combination with other libraries or frameworks. It's like Bootstrap, React, or Vue.js to create modal windows. Popper.js handles the dynamic positioning of the modal relative to its element. The other libraries or frameworks handle the modal functionality and styling.

It is accessible regardless of the user's screen size or device. It also offers customization options for positioning behavior and strategy. It as well compatible with various browsers and frameworks.

It uses wrapper libraries or custom implementations. React-Popper and Vue-Popper are libraries that provide React and Vue.js components. It integrates Popper.js into React and Vue.js applications.

It can be used to create accessible modal windows when implemented. Developers should ensure proper keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader compatibility. It can be used Popper.js for modal windows to ensure accessibility.
