## What it is
A lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for rendering performant confetti animations in the browser using HTML canvas. It supports bursts, fireworks, snow, custom shapes, and emoji particles with configurable options.

## Use cases
- add confetti animation when a user completes a checkout or form
- celebrate success events in a web app with a confetti burst
- create fireworks or snow particle effects on a webpage
- render custom-shaped or emoji confetti for holidays
- respect prefers-reduced-motion for celebratory animations

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, zero-dependency browser animation library
- you want confetti, fireworks, or snow effects with fine-grained control
- you need CDN or npm delivery with broad browser support

## When to avoid
- you need animations outside the browser (it does not run in Node)
- you need a general-purpose particle or physics engine
- you need server-side or canvas-free rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: confetti, canvas, particles, celebration-effects, zero-dependency, nodejs
