# Introduction
-Pinia [started](https://github.com/posva/pinia/commit/06aeef54e2cad66696063c62829dac74e15fd19e) as an experiment to redesign what a Store for Vue could look like with the [Composition API](https://github.com/vuejs/composition-api) around November 2019. Since then, the initial principals are still the same but Pinia works for both Vue 2 and Vue 3. The API is the same for both except for _installation_ and _SSR_ and these docs are targeted to Vue 3 with notes about Vue 2 whenever necessary so it can be used no matter if you are using Vue 2 or Vue 3!

Since then, the initial principals are still the same but Pinia works for both Vue 2 and Vue 3. The API is the same for both except for _installation_ and _SSR_ and these docs are targeted to Vue 3 **with notes about Vue 2** whenever necessary so it can be used no matter if you are using Vue 2 or Vue 3!
## Basic example
## Why _Pinia_
-Pinia is is the most similar English pronunciation of the word _pineapple_ in Spanish: _piña_. A pineapple is in reality a group of individual flowers that join together to create a multiple fruit. Similar to stores, each one is born individually, but they are all connected at the end. It's also a delicious tropical fruit indigenous to South America.
