When NOT to use xyflow
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid xyflow if you are working with frameworks other than React or Svelte, as these libraries are not compatible
- Do not use xyflow for projects where minimal dependencies on external libraries are required, given that xyflow adds specific components and styles to your application
