## What it is
A web component for rendering graph data structures as interactive 3D force-directed layouts using ThreeJS/WebGL. It uses d3-force-3d or ngraph for physics simulation and supports features like directional arrows, curved links, and custom node rendering.

## Use cases
- visualize a network graph in 3D in the browser
- render force-directed graph with WebGL
- explore large graph datasets interactively
- display knowledge graph with 3D node-link diagram
- embed an interactive 3D network visualization in a web app
- visualize dependencies or relationships between entities

## When to choose
- you need interactive 3D graph visualization in a web page
- you want a ready-made web component or React bindings
- your graph has hundreds to thousands of nodes and needs GPU rendering

## When to avoid
- you need 2D graph rendering (use the companion force-graph library)
- you need server-side or static graph image generation
- you need non-graph 3D scene rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
