## What it is
SVWebViewController is a drop-in inline browser view controller for iOS apps, written in Objective-C. It provides a ready-made web browsing UI with navigation controls, sharing activities, and distinct iPhone/iPad layouts.

## Use cases
- open external links inside my iOS app without leaving it
- add an in-app web browser to a navigation stack
- show a webpage modally with back/forward and refresh controls
- let users share or open pages in Safari and Chrome
- display web content with proper iPad and iPhone layouts

## When to choose
- you need a quick, lightweight in-app browser for an Objective-C or legacy iOS project
- you want a prebuilt browsing UI with share activities and orientation support
- you prefer a simple drop-in UIViewController over building a WKWebView wrapper yourself

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern Swift app and want an actively maintained solution like SafariServices' SFSafariViewController
- you need heavy customization of the browser UI or modern WebKit features
- you require ongoing updates, since the project has not seen releases since 2020
