## What it is
CEF4Delphi is a component library that embeds Chromium-based browsers (via CEF) into applications built with Delphi or Lazarus/Free Pascal. It provides VCL, FireMonkey, and Lazarus components for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

## Use cases
- embed a chromium browser in a delphi application
- render html in a lazarus/fpc desktop app
- build a custom web browser in pascal
- display web content inside a firemonkey app
- replace twebbrowser with chromium in delphi
- run javascript from a delphi application

## When to choose
- you develop in Delphi or Lazarus/Free Pascal and need a modern Chromium-based web view
- you need cross-platform embedded browsing on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- you need full Chromium features like V8 JavaScript, DevTools, or custom schemes

## When to avoid
- you need Windows XP/Vista/7 support (use OldCEF4Delphi or older releases instead)
- your project is not in Delphi, Lazarus, or Free Pascal
- you only need a lightweight web view without Chromium's large binary footprint

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: browser-extension, gui, ui-components
- domain: web-development, cross-platform, desktop-applications
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: chromium, cef, delphi, lazarus, freepascal, embedded-browser, vcl, firemonkey, pascal, linux, macos, desktop
