## What it is
A React Native component that provides an HTML5-like Canvas API for drawing 2D graphics in mobile apps, implemented via a WebView bridge. It supports the standard CanvasRenderingContext2D, Image, and Path2D APIs with async method calls.

## Use cases
- draw 2d graphics in a react native app
- render charts or custom shapes on mobile
- use html5 canvas api in react native
- draw images and paths with canvas in react native
- generate canvas images and export as data url

## When to choose
- you need browser-compatible Canvas 2D drawing inside a React Native app
- you want to port existing canvas-based rendering code to mobile

## When to avoid
- you need high-performance native rendering or WebGL
- you are building for web only, where the native Canvas API exists
- you need a 3D context, which is not supported
