## What it is
Fluid Framework is a TypeScript/JavaScript library for building distributed, real-time collaborative web applications using distributed data structures (DDSes) like SharedMap and SharedTree. It synchronizes shared state across clients with low latency and requires no custom server-side collaboration code.

## Use cases
- build a real-time collaborative document editor
- sync shared state across multiple browser clients
- add live co-editing to a web app
- build a collaborative whiteboard
- keep multiple users' views of shared data in sync in real time
- build multiplayer web applications without writing server sync logic

## When to choose
- you need low-latency multi-user collaboration in a web app
- you want distributed data structures with familiar map/array/tree APIs
- you want to avoid writing custom server-side sync code
- you use JavaScript or TypeScript with any frontend framework

## When to avoid
- you only need simple request/response APIs with no shared state
- your app is single-user with no collaboration requirements
- you need non-web platforms like native mobile or desktop without a JS runtime
