## What it is
Cherry Markdown Writer is a lightweight, out-of-the-box JavaScript Markdown editor component that runs in the browser or Node.js. It offers a toolbar, editing area, preview pane, and parsing engine, with support for custom syntax, themes, WYSIWYG image/table editing, and streaming rendering for AI chat scenarios.

## Use cases
- add a markdown editor to a web app
- embed a wysiwyg markdown editor with live preview
- render streaming markdown output from an LLM chat
- let users edit tables and images visually in markdown
- build a pure markdown preview component
- support multiple markdown editor instances on one page

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, extensible markdown editor in JavaScript
- you want WYSIWYG editing of images and tables in markdown
- you need streaming markdown rendering for AI chat interfaces
- you want a pure frontend component with no backend dependency

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone desktop markdown application
- you require a non-JavaScript stack
- you need a backend or collaborative editing service out of the box
