## What it is
Gaea Editor is a React-based visual website builder library that lets developers embed a drag-and-drop web page editor in the browser. Custom React components can be registered into the editor's drag menu with declarative edit settings, making it a foundation for scalable website visualization builders.

## Use cases
- build a drag-and-drop website editor in the browser
- embed a visual page builder into a React app
- let non-developers design web pages visually
- create a low-code website builder with custom components
- add a WYSIWYG editor for composing React components
- build a CMS-like visual page editing experience

## When to choose
- you need an embeddable React visual editor with custom component support
- you want to build a low-code page builder on top of your own React component library
- you prefer a lightweight library over a full hosted website builder platform

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, actively maintained page builder (last release 2022, low recent activity)
- your project uses Vue without the third-party port
- you need a complete out-of-the-box website builder with hosting and templates
