## What it is
ArtPlayer.js is a modern, feature-rich HTML5 video player library written in JavaScript, distributed via npm and CDN. It supports customizable controls, subtitles (.vtt/.ass/.srt), danmaku, thumbnails, and easy integration with streaming libraries like hls.js, dash.js, and flv.js.

## Use cases
- embed a video player in a web page
- play HLS or DASH streams in the browser
- show subtitles in vtt, ass, or srt format
- add danmaku (bullet comments) to video playback
- build a custom video player UI with layers and context menus
- add video thumbnails and quality switching
- use a video player in Vue or React apps

## When to choose
- you need a customizable HTML5 video player with rich built-in features
- you want subtitle, danmaku, and streaming-protocol support out of the box
- you need framework integration with Vue, React, or plain JavaScript

## When to avoid
- you need a native mobile player outside the browser
- you only need basic video playback and prefer the native <video> element
- you need DRM-protected commercial streaming with widevine/fairplay out of the box
