## What it is
A React library that lets components respond to CSS media queries via a useMediaQuery hook and a MediaQuery component. It supports camelCase shorthand props, render props, and device forcing for testing responsive layouts.

## Use cases
- render different components for desktop vs mobile in react
- detect screen orientation or retina displays in a react app
- use css media queries as react hooks
- conditionally render ui based on viewport width
- test responsive layouts with a forced device
- build mobile-first responsive react components

## When to choose
- you need JS-driven conditional rendering based on media queries in React
- you want both hook and component APIs with broad browser support
- you need to force a device context for testing or SSR scenarios

## When to avoid
- you only need CSS-only responsive styling without JS logic
- you are not using React
- you prefer a full CSS-in-JS or utility framework that handles breakpoints for you

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: frontend-framework, ui-components, state-management
