## What it is
Crosswalk is a web runtime built on Chromium/Blink that lets developers package web applications as native apps, primarily for Android and other platforms. Development ended in February 2017 with the last release being version 23.

## Use cases
- embed a chromium webview in a native android app
- package html5 app as a mobile application
- run web apps with consistent rendering across devices
- build hybrid apps with modern web features
- replace android system webview with bundled chromium

## When to choose
- you must maintain a legacy app already built on crosswalk
- you need a pinned chromium version on very old android devices

## When to avoid
- starting any new project
- you need security updates or bug fixes
- you want support for modern web standards
- you target recent android versions
