## What it is
styled-components is a CSS-in-JS library for React that lets you write actual CSS in tagged template literals attached to components. It supports web React, React Native, server components, and streaming SSR with a single API.

## Use cases
- style react components with scoped css
- write css-in-js with props-based dynamic styles
- theme a react app with a theme provider
- share one styling api between web and react native
- server-side render styled react components
- extend and compose styled components

## When to choose
- you use React and want colocated, component-scoped styling
- you need dynamic styles driven by props or themes
- you target both web and React Native with one styling approach
- you need SSR or streaming SSR support

## When to avoid
- you prefer plain CSS, CSS modules, or utility-first frameworks like Tailwind
- your project does not use React
- you want zero runtime CSS in the browser
