## What it is
A Kotlin library providing a WebView composable widget for JetBrains Compose Multiplatform, supporting loading URLs, HTML, and post data. It wraps platform-native engines: Accompanist-based WebView on Android, WKWebView on iOS, and Kotlin CEF Browser on Desktop.

## Use cases
- embed a webview in a compose multiplatform app
- load urls and html inside a kotlin multiplatform ui
- display web content on android and ios with shared compose code
- replace deprecated accompanist web library in jetpack compose
- render web pages in a desktop compose app with CEF

## When to choose
- you need an embedded browser across Android, iOS, and Desktop in Compose Multiplatform
- you want a maintained multiplatform replacement for Accompanist's deprecated web module

## When to avoid
- you only target Android and can use Jetpack Compose's WebView directly
- you need platforms beyond Android, iOS, and Desktop, such as web or native desktop without CEF setup
