## What it is
Alcinoe is a library of components and utilities for Delphi/FireMonkey (FMX) that helps developers build fast, modern, cross-platform applications with deep customization and high performance. It includes UI controls, networking, database (MongoDB/BSON/JSON), and media capabilities while remaining independent of GAFA ecosystems.

## Use cases
- build cross-platform mobile apps with Delphi FireMonkey
- add custom styled UI controls to FireMonkey applications
- connect to MongoDB from a Delphi application
- encode and process video and audio in Delphi apps
- integrate WebRTC communication into a Delphi app
- parse and serialize JSON and BSON in Pascal
- avoid dependence on Google/Apple SDKs in mobile apps

## When to choose
- you develop with Delphi/FireMonkey and need richer UI components than the stock library
- you want high-performance, deeply customizable cross-platform apps from a single Pascal codebase
- you need MongoDB, JSON/BSON, WebRTC, or media support in Delphi
- you want to minimize reliance on GAFA platform SDKs

## When to avoid
- you are not using Delphi or Object Pascal
- you build web-only or purely native Swift/Kotlin apps
- you need a managed/GC language ecosystem with large third-party package registries
- you require long-term API stability without checking changelogs for breaking renames
