## What it is
X6 is a JavaScript/TypeScript diagramming and graph editing engine that renders nodes and edges using SVG and HTML. It provides customizable nodes (including React/Vue/Angular integration) and built-in extensions like selection, snapping, minimap, and undo/redo for building interactive graph editing applications.

## Use cases
- build a flowchart editor in the browser
- create a DAG pipeline visualization with draggable nodes
- render ER diagrams from database schemas
- build a node-based workflow orchestration UI
- draw UML diagrams interactively on the web
- visualize data lineage graphs
- embed an interactive graph editor in a React or Vue app

## When to choose
- you need an interactive graph/diagram editor with draggable, connectable nodes
- you want out-of-the-box editing features like minimap, selection, snapping, and keyboard shortcuts
- you need custom node rendering with SVG, HTML, React, Vue, or Angular
- you are building flowchart, DAG, ER, or lineage graph applications

## When to avoid
- you only need static chart plotting (bar, line, pie) rather than node-edge diagrams
- you need server-side rendering of diagrams without a browser DOM
- you want a fully managed diagram-as-code tool rather than an interactive editing engine
- your project requires a non-JavaScript environment
