## What it is
react-modal is an accessible modal dialog component library for React applications. It provides a customizable modal with built-in accessibility features such as focus trapping and ARIA support.

## Use cases
- show a modal dialog in a react app
- accessible popup dialog component for react
- open a confirmation dialog with focus trapping
- display overlay content on top of a react page
- customizable modal with esc key and overlay close
- build a lightbox or dialog in react

## When to choose
- you need a battle-tested, accessible modal for React
- you want a small dependency with flexible styling via overlay/content styles
- you need focus management, ESC-to-close, and app element binding out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are not using React
- you need a full UI component suite rather than just modals
- you want headless/unstyled primitives and prefer building styling yourself with something like Radix or Headless UI
