## What it is
A collection of shared JavaScript/TypeScript utility functions developed for Datawrapper, a web-based tool for creating charts, maps, and tables. The libraries address recurring needs in building modern client-side responsive data visualizations.

## Use cases
- build responsive client-side data visualizations
- reuse charting utility functions in a newsroom project
- support data journalism visualization workflows
- create maps and chart helpers for web apps
- contribute to or extend Datawrapper's visualization code

## When to choose
- you need the shared utilities Datawrapper uses in its own visualization tooling
- you're building client-side responsive data visualization features and want battle-tested helpers
- you're contributing to Datawrapper or integrating closely with its ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you want a full end-user charting tool - use the Datawrapper app instead
- you need a general-purpose charting library like D3 or Chart.js with public documentation
- you need a stable, well-documented API - this repo is internal utility code with no license file
