## What it is
react-intl-universal is an internationalization library for React apps developed by Alibaba Group that also works in vanilla JavaScript. It provides a simple intl.get API with ICU message formatting, pluralization, variable and rich React component interpolation, and support for 150+ languages.

## Use cases
- internationalize a React application
- translate UI strings in vanilla JS code
- format pluralized messages with ICU standards
- interpolate React components inside translated messages
- manage locale files in nested JSON
- extract locale messages for translation

## When to choose
- you need i18n usable outside React components as well as inside them
- you want strict ICU message format compliance
- you need support for many languages and nested JSON locale data

## When to avoid
- you prefer a hook-only or context-based React i18n API
- your project is not React or JavaScript based
- you need a library with an explicit open-source license

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: internationalization, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: react, i18n, icu-message-format, vanilla-js, locale, localization, nodejs, web-server
