## What it is
A community-maintained cross-platform WebView component for React Native, replacing the WebView removed from React Native core. It supports iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, and requires the React Native new architecture (0.76+).

## Use cases
- embed a web page inside a react native app
- render pdfs in a mobile app
- display svgs from a url in react native
- implement oauth login flows in a mobile app
- show external website content in an expo app
- load local html content in react native

## When to choose
- you need to display web content in a React Native app on iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS
- you use Expo and need a WebView component
- you need a maintained replacement for the removed core WebView

## When to avoid
- you are on legacy React Native architecture (Paper) or React Native older than 0.76
- you are building a pure native app without React Native
- you need a full in-app browser with custom chrome rather than an embeddable component
