## What it is
VBA-Web is a VBA library that lets Excel, Access, and other Office applications call web services and REST APIs on Windows and Mac. It provides a WebClient with JSON parsing, cookies, headers, and built-in authentication support.

## Use cases
- call rest apis from excel vba
- parse json responses in vba
- authenticate with oauth 2.0 from office macros
- pull data from web services into excel
- connect access to external apis
- make http requests from vba on mac and windows

## When to choose
- you need to consume REST APIs from Excel, Access, or other VBA-hosted Office apps
- you want built-in OAuth, Basic, and Windows authentication in VBA
- you need cross-platform (Windows and Mac) VBA HTTP support

## When to avoid
- you are working outside the VBA/Office ecosystem
- you need XML parsing on Mac, which is currently unsupported
- you are building a modern add-in where Office.js or a .NET/Python stack fits better

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, serialization, auth, json
- domain: apis, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: vba, excel, office, rest, web-services, oauth, microsoft-office, automation, macos
