## What it is
WEditor is a browser-based UI script editor from the openatx smartphone testing ecosystem, letting users inspect device UI hierarchies and edit automation scripts via a local web server. The project is deprecated in favor of its successor at uiauto.dev.

## Use cases
- edit uiautomator2 automation scripts in a browser
- inspect android ui hierarchy from a web ui
- run python ui automation code snippets against a phone
- debug mobile app automation scripts
- dump device screen hierarchy with a right click

## When to choose
- you maintain legacy openatx/uiautomator2 workflows that already use weditor
- you need the original browser-based script editor for openatx

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use uiauto.dev instead
- you need actively maintained tooling or support
- you require non-Chrome browsers

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: editor, gui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, testing
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: uiautomator2, mobile-ui-testing, web-editor, openatx, deprecated, automation, web-server
