## What it is
A JavaScript library that converts SVG path strings into 3D triangulated meshes (simplicial complexes) using Delaunay triangulation. It is best suited for silhouettes like font icon SVGs and outputs meshes usable in ThreeJS or StackGL.

## Use cases
- convert svg icons into 3d meshes for threejs
- extrude svg silhouettes into triangulated geometry
- turn svg path data into a simplicial complex
- render font icon svgs as 3d shapes in the browser
- triangulate svg paths with delaunay for webgl demos

## When to choose
- you need to render SVG silhouettes or icons as 3D meshes in ThreeJS or StackGL
- you want a simple high-level API for SVG path triangulation
- you need normalized mesh output with configurable Delaunay triangulation and simplification

## When to avoid
- you need to convert full SVG files with complex features beyond paths
- you require actively maintained tooling or recent updates
- you need high-performance triangulation of very large or detailed vector artwork

## Facets
- artifact type: library
