## What it is
A small React component library providing declarative conditional rendering via If/Then/Else JSX components. It makes ternary-based conditional rendering more readable and supports lazy evaluation of children via arrow functions.

## Use cases
- conditionally render react components
- replace ternaries in jsx with readable if/else components
- lazy-evaluate expensive jsx children only when condition is true
- write declarative conditional logic in react templates

## When to choose
- you want more readable conditional rendering than nested ternaries in JSX
- you need deferred evaluation of expensive children or conditions
- you prefer a tiny, dependency-free declarative helper

## When to avoid
- you are fine with plain ternaries or && in JSX
- you want full control over rendering logic without extra components
- your team avoids non-standard JSX abstractions
