## What it is
@pixi/react is a React renderer that lets you build PixiJS applications declaratively using JSX components like <pixiContainer> and <pixiSprite>. It is a thin, production-ready wrapper around PixiJS v8 (with React 19 support) that keeps full access to the underlying PixiJS API.

## Use cases
- render 2d graphics in react
- build interactive canvas apps with react
- write pixijs apps declaratively in jsx
- create animated web graphics with react
- build 2d games in react
- render sprites and text with webgl in react

## When to choose
- you want to use PixiJS with React state and components
- you need high-performance 2D/WebGL rendering inside a React app
- you want declarative JSX for sprites, containers, and graphics
- you want a thin wrapper that always tracks the latest PixiJS features

## When to avoid
- you are not using React
- you need 3D rendering (use three.js or react-three-fiber)
- you want a full game engine with physics and scene management built in
- you need to render plain DOM UI rather than canvas/WebGL content
