## What it is
A Flutter community plugin that lets Flutter apps communicate with a native WebView on Android and iOS, providing a WebviewScaffold widget and JavaScript evaluation support. It is being merged into the official webview_flutter plugin and will be deprecated once that merge completes.

## Use cases
- display a web page inside a flutter app
- open external urls in a native webview
- evaluate javascript in an embedded browser
- show a webview fullscreen with an appbar
- load local html files with zoom and local storage
- handle oauth login flows in a mobile webview

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Flutter app already using this plugin
- needing fullscreen webview behavior not yet available in webview_flutter
- targeting older Android SDKs with simple webview needs

## When to avoid
- starting a new Flutter project - use the official webview_flutter plugin instead
- needing the webview integrated in the widget tree with overlapping Flutter widgets
- needing active bug fixes or new features
