## What it is
cnchar is a comprehensive TypeScript library for Chinese character processing, offering pinyin conversion, stroke counts, stroke order drawing, radicals, idioms, traditional/simplified conversion, and speech synthesis/recognition. It works across browsers, Node.js, mini-programs, and mobile frameworks with a plugin-based, modular design.

## Use cases
- get the pinyin of Chinese characters including polyphonic words
- count strokes and render stroke order animations for hanzi
- convert between simplified and traditional Chinese characters
- look up radicals and character structure of Chinese characters
- add Chinese text-to-speech and speech recognition to a web app
- sort or generate Chinese characters by pinyin or stroke count
- get wubi input codes for Chinese characters

## When to choose
- you need rich Chinese character utilities (pinyin, strokes, radicals, drawing) in JavaScript/TypeScript
- you want one library that runs in browser, Node.js, mini-programs, and ReactNative/Electron
- you need offline or custom-deployable Chinese character data with modular package sizes

## When to avoid
- you need full NLP like segmentation or translation rather than character-level utilities
- your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript based
- you need machine-translation-grade linguistic analysis of Chinese text
