# Comparisons

quario beside the libraries you may already use. Each page builds one document both ways, says what the library does well, and says when to keep it.

SAME DOCUMENT, BOTH WAYS

## Keep the library, or keep the definition.

A comparison sets quario beside one library you already know; a [guide](https://getquario.com/guides.md) teaches a task from the start. Both render with the same no-`eval` engine, anywhere your code runs.

### FAQ

**Do I have to replace the library I use?** No. Each comparison says when to keep it, and some pair them: pdf-lib can stamp or merge the PDF quario writes.
