## What it is
xrpl.js is the official JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for interacting with the XRP Ledger from Node.js and web browsers. It provides wallet/key management, transaction submission, ledger queries, subscriptions, and data parsing utilities for building XRP applications.

## Use cases
- send XRP payments from a Node.js app
- interact with the XRP Ledger in JavaScript
- create and fund XRP test wallets
- subscribe to ledger and transaction updates
- build a browser-based XRP wallet
- trade tokens on the XRPL decentralized exchange
- set up escrows and payment channels on XRPL
- parse XRP ledger data in TypeScript

## When to choose
- you're building a JavaScript or TypeScript app on the XRP Ledger
- you need advanced XRPL features like IOUs, payment paths, multi-signing, or escrows
- you want the officially recommended XRPL client library

## When to avoid
- you're targeting a different blockchain than the XRP Ledger
- you need a Python, Java, or Go XRPL SDK instead
- you only need read-only blockchain exploration without a full client library

## Facets
