## What it is
matrix-react-sdk is a React-based SDK providing components to build Matrix chat and VoIP web clients. It was developed from 2015 to 2024 by the Matrix.org Foundation and has since moved to element-hq/matrix-react-sdk for active maintenance.

## Use cases
- build a Matrix chat client in React
- embed Matrix chat into a web page
- add VoIP and video calling to a web app
- create a custom frontend for a Matrix homeserver
- build an Element-like web client

## When to choose
- you are building a React web client for the Matrix protocol
- you want to embed decentralized chat with VoIP support into a web app
- you are contributing to or skinning Element Web

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile SDK - use the native iOS or Android Matrix SDKs instead
- you need active maintenance - use element-hq/matrix-react-sdk instead of this archived location
- you want a standalone chat widget without React
