SimpleWebRTC is a JavaScript library that wraps the WebRTC API to make building peer-to-peer video, audio, and data communication in the browser simple. It handles media capture, room joining via a signaling server, and peer connection setup with minimal code.

Use cases

• add video chat to a web app
• build a browser-based video conferencing tool
• simplify WebRTC peer connections
• send files between browsers peer-to-peer
• join multi-party video rooms in the browser

When to choose

• you need a quick, minimal wrapper around raw WebRTC for a prototype
• you want simple room-based video chat with a signaling server
• you are maintaining an existing project already built on SimpleWebRTC v2

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - the library is deprecated and unmaintained
• you need production support, security updates, or modern WebRTC features
• you need group file sharing or advanced media routing
