## What it is
LayaAir is a TypeScript-based 2D/3D game engine supporting WebGL, WebGPU, OpenGL, and Vulkan with full-platform publishing to HTML5, native apps, and Chinese mini-game platforms. It ships with an integrated IDE featuring scene, material, particle, animation, physics, and UI editors plus an AIGC framework.

## Use cases
- build html5 3d games in the browser
- publish a game to wechat mini-games
- create a cross-platform 2d game engine project
- develop digital twin or metaverse 3d scenes
- make an educational interactive 3d web app
- build a native mobile game from one codebase

## When to choose
- you need one codebase targeting web, native, and Chinese mini-game platforms
- you want a full IDE with visual editors for scenes, particles, and UI
- you need modern rendering features like PBR and Forward+ pipelines

## When to avoid
- you need a large third-party asset/plugin ecosystem like Unity's
- your team is deeply invested in Unreal or Godot workflows
- you only target desktop consoles
