## What it is
FastReport is a free, open-source, band-oriented report generator library for .NET 6/.NET Core/.NET Framework written in C#. It lets applications design document-like reports with bands, tables, matrices, charts and barcodes, connect to many data sources, and export to formats like PDF.

## Use cases
- generate pdf reports from a .net application
- create master-detail reports from sql server or postgres data
- build pivot table reports in c#
- embed a reporting engine in an asp.net mvc or web api app
- export reports to pdf from a console application
- design band-oriented reports with barcodes and checkboxes

## When to choose
- you need a mature, MIT-licensed reporting engine for .NET Standard 2.0+
- your app must pull data from XML, CSV, JSON, or relational and NoSQL databases
- you need band-based layouts like master-detail, grouped, or multi-column reports

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone end-user report designer with full commercial support
- you are not on the .NET platform
- you need web-based interactive dashboards rather than document-like reports
