## What it is
UAssetGUI is a desktop tool for low-level inspection and hand-editing of Unreal Engine game asset files (.uasset). It also supports command-line export/import of assets to and from a JSON representation via UAssetAPI.

## Use cases
- edit unreal engine game assets
- inspect uasset file contents
- mod unreal engine games
- convert uasset to json and back
- view game asset properties by hand
- modify serialized unreal assets

## When to choose
- you need to manually examine or tweak Unreal Engine asset binaries
- you want a GUI plus JSON round-trip workflow for game modding
- you work across engine versions from UE4 to UE5

## When to avoid
- you need automated bulk asset processing in a build pipeline
- you want a general-purpose Unreal editor rather than a binary asset inspector
- you need official tooling support or a guarantee of correctness for all asset types

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, parser, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, files, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: unreal-engine, game-modding, asset-editing, json-conversion, csharp, linux, desktop
