## What it is
A lightweight, unstyled React component library for building accessible menus, including dropdown, hover, context menus, and nested submenus. It implements the WAI-ARIA menu pattern with full keyboard interaction and supports React 18 concurrent rendering and server-side rendering.

## Use cases
- add an accessible dropdown menu to a react app
- build a context menu with right-click in react
- create nested submenu navigation in react
- make a keyboard-navigable menu with wai-aria compliance
- add radio button or checkbox menu items in react
- style my own menu components without default css
- add a tooltip to a menu button in react

## When to choose
- you need accessible, WAI-ARIA compliant menus in React with full keyboard support
- you want unstyled components so you can apply your own design system
- you need nested submenus, radio/checkbox items, or context menus out of the box
- you need SSR compatibility and React 18 concurrent rendering support

## When to avoid
- you are not using React
- you want pre-styled, opinionated menu components with built-in themes
- you need a full navigation bar or mega-menu solution rather than menus
- you need mobile-native menus outside the web platform
