## What it is
Roadhog is a CLI tool for creating and building React applications, offering a configurable alternative to create-react-app with dev, build, and test commands. It bundles webpack, babel, css-modules, HMR, and mock server support behind simple JSON or JS configuration files.

## Use cases
- scaffold a react app without ejecting
- configure webpack for a react project via
- run a dev server with hot module replacement
- mock api endpoints during frontend development
- build a react app for production
- run jest tests for a react project

## When to choose
- you want create-react-app-like workflow but need webpack customization
- you need built-in api mocking for frontend development
- you prefer simple  config over ejecting

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project today - use umi or vite instead
- you need modern tooling like esbuild or vite speed
- you want a zero-config experience identical to create-react-app
