## What it is
Paths.js is a JavaScript library that generates SVG path strings for geometric shapes and simple charts (pie, line, radar) from raw data via a functional, chainable API. It only computes the geometry, leaving rendering to any framework, template engine, or even Canvas and server-side Node.

## Use cases
- generate svg paths for pie charts from data
- draw line charts with custom react components
- create radar charts in svg
- build custom chart library on top of svg geometry
- render charts server-side in node
- compute polygon and circle sector paths
- use chart geometry with canvas api

## When to choose
- you need full control over rendering, styling, and animation of charts
- you use React, Ractive, or another data-binding library and want chart primitives
- you need chart geometry server-side or with Canvas instead of DOM rendering

## When to avoid
- you want a batteries-included chart library with axes, tooltips, and legends out of the box
- you need canvas or webgl rendering handled for you
- you need actively maintained code with recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: svg-paths, charts, geometric-shapes, react-friendly, functional-api, nodejs
