## What it is
vue-konva is a Vue library providing declarative, reactive components for the Konva 2D HTML5 canvas framework. Each Konva node (stage, layer, shapes) is exposed as a Vue component with a 'v-' prefix, enabling interactive canvas graphics in Vue apps.

## Use cases
- draw complex canvas graphics in a Vue app
- build a whiteboard or design editor with Vue
- create interactive diagrams and flowcharts on canvas
- add image annotation and labeling tools to a Vue app
- make draggable, animated shapes with reactive Vue state
- build a signature pad or canvas drawing tool
- render thousands of shapes with high performance in Vue

## When to choose
- you use Vue 2 or Vue 3 and need interactive 2D canvas graphics
- you want declarative, reactive bindings instead of imperative Konva code
- you're building editors, whiteboards, diagrams, or annotation tools in Vue
- you want Konva's event handling, dragging, and animation with Vue data flow

## When to avoid
- you use React, Svelte, or Angular instead of Vue (use react-konva, svelte-konva, or ng2-konva)
- you need native mobile rendering without a DOM/canvas (Konva is browser-only)
- you only need simple static charts or SVG graphics where a charting or SVG library fits better
- you need WebGL/3D rendering rather than 2D canvas
