## What it is
A collection of code samples demonstrating new web platform features in each release of Google Chrome, maintained by the Chrome team. Samples are browsable via ChromeStatus feature entries and served as a Jekyll-based demo site.

## Use cases
- learn how to use new Chrome web APIs
- find demo code for a ChromeStatus feature
- see examples of WebAssembly in the browser
- reference working code for experimental browser features
- teach web platform capabilities with runnable examples

## When to choose
- you want runnable examples of new or experimental Chrome features
- you're documenting or learning a web platform API
- you need a starting point for a browser feature demo

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready libraries or frameworks
- you're targeting non-Chromium browsers exclusively
- you want a curated tutorial course rather than per-feature samples

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: web-development, browser-extensions, tutorials
- platform: browser
- tags: chrome, web-apis, code-samples, demos, chromestatus, javascript, web
