What Does Select2 Support That Chosen Does Not?

What Usecases Does Select2 Support

11-
* Working with large datasets: Chosen requires the entire dataset to be loaded as `option` tags in the DOM, which limits
12-
it to working with small-ish datasets. Select2 uses a function to find results on-the-fly, which allows it to partially
13-
load results.
14-
* Paging of results: Since Select2 works with large datasets and only loads a small amount of matching results at a time
15-
it has to support paging. Select2 will call the search function when the user scrolls to the bottom of currently loaded
16-
result set allowing for the 'infinite scrolling' of results.
17-
* Custom markup for results: Chosen only supports rendering text results because that is the only markup supported by
18-
`option` tags. Select2 provides an extension point which can be used to produce any kind of markup to represent results.
19-
* Ability to add results on the fly: Select2 provides the ability to add results from the search term entered by the user, which allows it to be used for
20-
tagging.

* Enhances native selects with search

* Enhances native selects with a better multi-select interface
13+
* Loading data from javascript: easily load items via ajax and have them searchable
14+
* Nested 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 datesets: 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
