## What it is
A React Native component that extends the built-in WebView with a JavaScript bridge, enabling bidirectional communication between React Native code and web content running inside the WebView. It supports iOS and Android via native modules written in Objective-C and Java.

## Use cases
- send messages from react native to a webview
- call javascript functions inside a webview from native code
- communicate between react native and embedded web content
- build hybrid apps with webview bridge
- pass data back and forth between webview and react native

## When to choose
- you need two-way messaging between React Native and a WebView
- you are on React Native 0.20+ and want a ready-made bridge component

## When to avoid
- you use modern React Native with react-native-webview's built-in postMessage/injectedJavaScript
- you need actively maintained or recently updated tooling
- you are not using React Native
