## What it is
react-tooltip is an open-source React tooltip component library for displaying floating information on hover or keyboard focus. It supports React 16.14 through 19, works with data attributes or props, and integrates with React Server Components via client boundaries.

## Use cases
- add tooltips to react components
- show hover hints on links and buttons
- accessible tooltips on keyboard focus
- tooltip library for next.js app
- replace title attribute with styled tooltips
- position tooltips with data attributes

## When to choose
- you need a maintained, widely used tooltip solution for React 16.14-19
- you want declarative tooltips via data attributes or anchor selectors
- you use Next.js or React Server Components and can render the tooltip in a client component

## When to avoid
- your project is not React-based
- you need tooltips in a server-rendered context without a client component boundary
- you need a general-purpose positioning engine rather than a ready-made tooltip component
