## What it is
React ART is a React bridge to the ART vector drawing library, providing declarative React components for rendering vector graphics. It can render output to Canvas, SVG, or VML (IE8) using the same declarative API.

## Use cases
- draw vector graphics in react
- render svg shapes with react components
- create canvas-based illustrations declaratively
- build data visualizations with react
- render vector graphics for legacy ie8 browsers

## When to choose
- you need declarative vector drawing in a legacy React codebase already using ART
- you must support old browsers like IE8 via VML output

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use modern alternatives like react-svg or direct SVG
- you need active maintenance or new features
- you need high-performance or complex 2D graphics - consider pixi.js or konva

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, graphics
- domain: frontend, web-development, graphics
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: react, vector-graphics, svg, canvas, drawing, deprecated, javascript
