## What it is
bippy is a TypeScript library that exposes React's internal Fiber tree and renderer APIs for metaprogramming. It lets you inspect fibers, track renders and commits, and install the React DevTools global hook.

## Use cases
- inspect the react fiber tree from a dom element
- track react component renders and commits
- build react devtools-like tooling
- hook into react root commit lifecycle events
- access react renderer internals for debugging
- instrument react apps without modifying components

## When to choose
- you need access to react internals that public apis don't expose
- you're building developer tooling, profilers, or inspectors for react
- you need to track fiber commits and unmounts in production or dev

## When to avoid
- you only need standard react apis for your app
- you can't tolerate breakage from react internal changes
- you're building a production feature that depends on stability

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, middleware
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: react-internals, react-fiber, react-reconciler, devtools-hook, instrumentation, metaprogramming, typescript, nodejs, web-server
