## What it is
A flexible and modular framework for building node-based displays and editors inside Unity, supporting custom nodes, connections, canvases, save/cache systems, and runtime use. It is built on Unity's IMGUI and depends on the author's UndoPro library for undo support.

## Use cases
- create a node-based editor in Unity
- build a visual graph tool for my Unity game
- make custom node editors for shader or dialogue systems
- embed an editable node canvas at runtime in Unity
- save and load node graph layouts as assets or XML

## When to choose
- you are on an older Unity version and need a proven, extensible node editor framework
- you need runtime node canvas support in a Unity project
- you want a lightweight MIT-licensed base to fork and maintain yourself

## When to avoid
- you are on a recent Unity version - the framework is deprecated and currently broken due to UndoPro incompatibilities
- you want a maintained solution - Unity now ships an official GraphView/Graph Toolkit and other alternatives exist
- you need long-term support or community fixes
