## What it is
LUME is a TypeScript toolkit of HTML custom elements for building interactive 2D and 3D graphics in the browser, powered by WebGL and CSS3D. It provides a scene-graph based component system built on web components, with packages for element behaviors and a WebAssembly WebGL engine.

## Use cases
- render 3D scenes in the browser with HTML elements
- build interactive 3D web applications without writing raw WebGL
- mix CSS3D and WebGL content in one scene graph
- create 3D product visualizers or data displays on a website
- prototype browser-based games or first-person experiences
- build reusable 3D UI widgets as web components

## When to choose
- you want declarative HTML markup for 3D scenes instead of imperative Three.js code
- you need to combine DOM/CSS content with WebGL 3D in a single scene
- you prefer web components that integrate with any framework or plain HTML
- you want a higher-level scene-graph abstraction over Three.js

## When to avoid
- you need maximum performance or fine-grained control - use Three.js or raw WebGL directly
- you need server-side rendering or non-browser environments
- you require a mature, battle-tested engine for production games at scale
- you need extensive 3D model format loaders or advanced engine features out of the box
