## What it is
iTyped is a tiny (2 kB), dependency-free JavaScript library for animated typewriter text effects. It types out strings at configurable speeds, backspaces, and cycles through multiple sentences with a customizable blinking cursor.

## Use cases
- animate typing text on a landing page hero
- create a typewriter effect with no dependencies
- cycle through multiple phrases with backspacing animation
- add a blinking cursor to animated text
- use a typing animation in a React component
- run multiple typing animations on the same page

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free typing animation
- you only need to render strings with type/backspace effects
- you want a tiny 2 kB library that works in plain JS or React

## When to avoid
- you need rich text or HTML rendering in the animation
- you need advanced features like pause, loop control, or smart backspacing
- you need a library with active development and recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
