## What it is
Exokit is a native VR/AR/XR engine for JavaScript that emulates a web browser on top of Node, providing native hooks for WebGL, WebXR, WebAudio, and related APIs. It lets developers run the same web-based immersive experience code across desktop VR headsets, Oculus, and Magic Leap.

## Use cases
- build VR experiences with JavaScript and web APIs
- run WebXR apps natively on headsets
- deploy A-Frame apps to Magic Leap
- emulate a browser for immersive WebGL content
- develop cross-platform AR apps with one codebase
- run WebAudio and WebGL in a native XR runtime

## When to choose
- you want to reuse existing web/WebXR code on native VR/AR devices
- you target OpenVR, Oculus, or Magic Leap from JavaScript
- you prefer web-standard APIs over native SDKs for XR development

## When to avoid
- you need a mainstream, actively maintained WebXR browser
- you target mobile AR like ARKit/ARCore
- you need non-XR general-purpose browsing
