## What it is
A React component wrapper around the Highcharts charting library, also supporting Highstock and Highmaps. It lets developers render charts declaratively via a Highcharts config object with access to the underlying Highcharts API.

## Use cases
- render highcharts charts in a react app
- add stock charts with highstock to react components
- show interactive maps with highmaps in react
- update chart series after render via the highcharts api
- prevent expensive chart rerenders when config is unchanged

## When to choose
- you use React and want a declarative wrapper for Highcharts, Highstock, or Highmaps
- you need fine-grained access to the Highcharts API through refs and callbacks

## When to avoid
- you want actively maintained charting with recent React versions (last release 2022)
- you need a free charting solution without a Highcharts commercial license
- you prefer a charting library with built-in React support
