## What it is
Grommet is a React-based UI framework and design system that packages accessible, modular, responsive, and themeable components for building web applications. It emphasizes W3C WCAG 2.1 compliance, mobile-first responsive layouts via Flexbox and CSS Grid, and powerful theming tooling.

## Use cases
- build an accessible React user interface
- find a React component library with built-in theming
- create a responsive mobile-first web app UI
- adopt a design system for a React codebase
- make UI components WCAG compliant with keyboard and screen reader support
- kickstart a new React app with a starter template

## When to choose
- You need accessibility (WCAG 2.1, keyboard navigation, screen reader support) out of the box
- You want an opinionated, batteries-included design system with icons, templates, and designer tooling
- You need responsive Flexbox/CSS Grid layouts that work across phones and widescreen displays
- You want a mature, well-maintained library with an active community and release history

## When to avoid
- Your project is not built with React, since Grommet is React-only
- You want unstyled headless primitives or a utility-first CSS approach instead of an opinionated design system
- You need to match a fully bespoke visual language and the bundled theming model would fight your design requirements
- You want to avoid extra dependencies like styled-components
