## What it is
The official React component library for rendering Font Awesome icons as inline SVGs. It provides a FontAwesomeIcon component with typed props, supporting Font Awesome v6 and v7 and server-side rendering.

## Use cases
- add font awesome icons to a react app
- render svg icons in react components
- use font awesome with react server-side rendering
- replace icon fonts with inline svg icons in react
- style and size font awesome icons via react props

## When to choose
- you use React and want the official, maintained Font Awesome integration
- you want inline SVG icons with tree-shaking and TypeScript support
- you need SSR-compatible icon rendering

## When to avoid
- you don't use React
- you want a framework-agnostic icon solution or non-Font Awesome icon sets
- you must support legacy React versions or IE11 (use older 0.x releases)
