A dataset of easy-to-parse emoji metadata (emoji.) plus spritesheet-style images for use on the web, supporting Emoji version 16.0. Distributed via npm packages (emoji-datasource and vendor variants) and a CDN, with per-vendor images from Apple, Google, Twitter, and Facebook.
Use cases
- build an emoji picker for a web app
- map emoji to short names and categories
- render emoji consistently across platforms with spritesheets
- look up emoji by unicode codepoint or legacy carrier codes
- add emoji search with keywords and short names
- support skin tone variations in an emoji selector
When to choose
- you need structured emoji metadata with vendor image support
- you want a self-hosted emoji picker data source
- you need spritesheets to avoid per-emoji HTTP requests
When to avoid
- you only need native OS emoji rendering with no images
- you need a full emoji picker UI component rather than data
- your project cannot accommodate large image assets
