## What it is
node-emoji is a Node.js library providing friendly emoji lookups and parsing utilities, built on top of emojilib and skin-tone. It supports converting between emoji and :name: notation, searching, and checking emoji presence in strings.

## Use cases
- convert :heart: shorthand to actual emoji in strings
- convert emoji back to :name: markdown notation
- search emojis by keyword
- strip emojis from user text
- check whether a string contains an emoji
- pick a random emoji programmatically

## When to choose
- you need simple emoji <-> :name: conversion in a Node.js project
- you want keyword-based emoji search or lookup
- you need ESM-compatible, TypeScript-typed emoji utilities

## When to avoid
- you need emoji rendering or UI components in the browser
- you need full Unicode emoji data beyond emojilib's dataset
- you're on the legacy CommonJS-only 1.x API without migration
