## What it is
elm-ui is an Elm library that provides a complete alternative to writing HTML and CSS for building web interfaces. It offers a design toolkit for layout, styling, and typography where common CSS layout errors are impossible to express.

## Use cases
- build web UIs without writing CSS
- create layouts in Elm with type-safe styling
- avoid CSS layout bugs in frontend apps
- style Elm applications with a design-focused API
- replace HTML/CSS templating in Elm views

## When to choose
- you're building an Elm web app and want to avoid HTML and CSS entirely
- you want layout errors caught at compile time
- you prefer an explicit, centralized layout and styling API

## When to avoid
- your project is not written in Elm
- you need fine-grained control over raw CSS or existing CSS frameworks
- you need to integrate with a design system built on CSS

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, css-framework, frontend-framework, templating
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser
- tags: elm, layout, styling, design-toolkit, no-css, typography, web-server
