[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 with npm:

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

## Usage

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

import "@cesium/engine/Source/Widget/CesiumWidget.css";

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