## What it is
Peity is a small jQuery plugin that converts an element's text content into tiny inline SVG pie, donut, line, or bar charts. It is a lightweight progressive-enhancement library for adding sparkline-style visualizations to web pages.

## Use cases
- render tiny pie charts inline in HTML from text values
- add sparkline line charts to tables or dashboards
- draw mini bar charts from comma-separated numbers
- create donut charts showing ratios like 3/5
- progressively enhance spans of data into SVG charts

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need tiny inline charts
- you want a very lightweight sparkline solution under 4KB minified
- you need progressive enhancement from plain HTML content
- you need simple pie, donut, line, or bar sparklines without a full charting library

## When to avoid
- your project does not use jQuery
- you need interactive, animated, or complex charts with axes and tooltips
- you need charts in a non-browser environment
- you want a modern framework-native charting component
