## What it is
xNode is a Unity framework for building and editing node-based graphs directly inside the Unity editor. It provides a lightweight runtime with strong editor/runtime separation, making it a base for custom state machines, dialogue systems, and decision makers.

## Use cases
- build a node graph editor inside Unity
- create a dialogue system with node-based flow
- implement a custom state machine in Unity
- make a node-based decision maker or behavior tree
- edit node graphs visually in the Unity editor
- prototype node-based plugins for Unity

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, low-boilerplate node editor framework for Unity
- you want clean separation between editor tooling and runtime graph evaluation
- you are building dialogue systems, state machines, or graph-based tools in Unity
- you want a dependency-free solution with no runtime reflection overhead

## When to avoid
- you need a full visual scripting solution out of the box rather than a framework to build on
- your project does not use Unity
- you need runtime graph editing with heavy reflection support and minimal setup
- you require built-in Odin Inspector support without using a fork

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
