# Chakra UI
Chakra UI v3 (2025) moves to a **Zero-runtime** engine (Panda CSS under the hood) to solve performance issues, while keeping the developer experience of style props.
## When to Use
- **Speed**: Developing UI with style props (`<Box mt={4} />`) is incredibly fast.
- **Accessibility**: WAI-ARIA compliant out of the box.
- **Customizability**: Easier to customize than MUI.
## Core Concepts
### Style Props
Passing CSS as props. `bg="red.500"`.
### Polymorphism
`as` prop. `<Button as="a" href="...">`.
### Hooks
`useColorMode`, `useDisclosure` (for modals).
## Best Practices (2025)
**Do**:
- **Use v3**: Significant performance boost over v2 (Emotion-based).
- **Use `HStack` / `VStack`**: Great abstractions for Flexbox layout.
- **Extend Theme**: Define your colors/fonts in a theme file.
**Don't**:
- **Don't hardcode hex colors**: Use theme tokens (`blue.500`).
