[CesiumJS](../../README.md) is a JavaScript library for creating 3D globes and 2D maps in a web browser without a plugin. It uses WebGL for hardware-accelerated graphics, and is cross-platform, cross-browser, and tuned for dynamic-data visualization.

`@cesium/engine` includes cesiumJS's core, rendering, and data APIs. Here you'll find terrain and imagery engines, support for 3D Tiles and 3D models, geometries, and vector data.

## Install

`@cesium/engine` is published as ES modules with full typing support.

Install with npm:

```sh
npm install @cesium/engine --save
```

Or, install with yarn:

```sh
yarn add @cesium/engine
```

## Usage

Import individual modules to benefit from tree shaking optimizations through most build tools:

```js
import { CesiumWidget } from "@cesium/engine";
import "@cesium/engine/Source/Widget/CesiumWidget.css";

const cesiumWidget = new CesiumWidget("cesiumContainer");
```

See our [Quickstart Guide](https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs-learn/cesiumjs-quickstart/) for more information on getting a CesiumJS app up and running.
