## What it is
MathLive is a set of web components (custom elements) for editing and rendering mathematical notation on the web with LaTeX-quality typesetting. It provides an interactive mathfield with virtual keyboards plus lightweight static renderers, with import/export to LaTeX, MathML, ASCIIMath, Typst, and MathJSON.

## Use cases
- add a math equation editor to a web page
- render LaTeX math in HTML
- build an online math quiz or assessment tool
- let users type math on mobile with a virtual keyboard
- convert math expressions between LaTeX, MathML, and MathJSON
- make math content screen-reader accessible

## When to choose
- you need editable, typeset math input in a browser app
- you want web components that work with any framework
- accessibility (math-to-speech, ARIA) is a requirement
- you need multiple math serialization formats

## When to avoid
- you need server-side math rendering to static images
- you need a full CAS for symbolic computation (pair with the Compute Engine)
- your target is native mobile or desktop apps rather than the web

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, editor, templating, accessibility
- domain: web-development, frontend, education, mathematics
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: math-editor, latex, web-components, mathml, mathjson, virtual-keyboard, math-to-speech, web-server
