## What it is
A high-performance React Native camera library providing cross-platform camera capture, QR/barcode scanning, and face detection for iOS and Android apps. It is maintained by Tesla and distributed via npm under the MIT license.

## Use cases
- capture photos in a react native app
- scan qr codes with the device camera
- scan barcodes in a mobile app
- detect faces using the camera
- build a custom camera screen for ios and android
- record high-rate photo capture in react native

## When to choose
- you need a performant cross-platform camera in React Native
- you want built-in QR/barcode scanning or face detection
- you want a simple MIT-licensed camera component

## When to avoid
- you need video recording features not covered by the library
- you need built-in permission handling (use react-native-permissions separately)
- your project is not React Native
