## What it is
A reusable React error boundary component that catches rendering errors and displays fallback UI. It supports all React renderers including React DOM and React Native.

## Use cases
- show a fallback UI when a React component fails to render
- catch rendering errors in React apps
- retry rendering after an error with resetErrorBoundary
- log rendering errors to an error reporting service
- handle async and event handler errors in React

## When to choose
- you need a battle-tested error boundary for React DOM or React Native
- you want declarative fallback UI with reset/retry support
- you need to forward caught errors from event handlers or async code to a boundary

## When to avoid
- you need to catch errors during server-side rendering
- you need to catch errors in event handlers or async code without additional wiring
- your project does not support ES Modules and you cannot use version 5

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: error-handling, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: react, error-boundary, fallback-ui, react-native, typescript, nodejs
