## What it is
DBCamera is an Objective-C library providing a simple, customizable camera view controller built on AVFoundation for iOS apps. It offers ready-made capture UI with delegate-based integration and optional GPUImage filters, and can also be used as an Apache Cordova plugin.

## Use cases
- add a custom camera screen to an iOS app
- capture photos with AVFoundation without building UI from scratch
- present a full-screen camera view controller with delegate callbacks
- apply GPUImage filters to captured photos
- use a native camera in a Cordova iOS app

## When to choose
- you need a drop-in custom camera UI for an Objective-C or legacy iOS project
- you want AVFoundation camera capture with minimal setup via CocoaPods
- you need a camera plugin for Apache Cordova on iOS

## When to avoid
- you are building a new Swift/SwiftUI app where UIImagePickerController or AVFoundation with Swift is preferable
- you need video recording or advanced modern camera features
- you require actively maintained software with recent updates
