## What it is
Britecharts is a client-side reusable charting library built on D3.js v5, offering composable SVG chart components like bar, line, donut, and sparkline charts. It provides a simple fluent API for rendering interactive, well-designed visualizations in the browser.

## Use cases
- render interactive bar and line charts in the browser
- build composable d3-based data visualizations with little code
- add donut and sparkline charts to a web dashboard
- create reusable svg chart components for a frontend app
- style and customize d3 charts without writing raw d3 code

## When to choose
- you want D3.js-powered charts with a simple, consistent API
- you need composable, reusable chart components with good design
- you want a fully tested charting library you can fork and modify

## When to avoid
- you need a framework-agnostic React charting library with JSX components
- you need server-side rendering or canvas-based rendering
- you need very active development - the latest release was in 2023
