## What it is
A word cloud extension plugin for Apache ECharts built on top of wordcloud2.js. It adds a 'wordCloud' series type to ECharts with configurable shapes, mask images, rotation, and sizing options.

## Use cases
- render a word cloud chart in the browser
- visualize keyword frequency as a tag cloud
- add word cloud series to an existing ECharts chart

- display trending search terms like Google Trends

## When to choose

- you want customizable cloud shapes, rotations, and mask images
- you need a lightweight npm-installable chart plugin

## When to avoid
