## What it is
Microsoft Web Template Studio is a Visual Studio Code extension that scaffolds new web or React Native applications through a wizard-based UI. It generates boilerplate code with chosen project types, frontend/backend frameworks, pages, and Azure cloud services following best practices.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new react web app with a wizard in vscode
- generate boilerplate for a react native project
- create a web app wired to azure services
- bootstrap a fullstack app with frontend and backend frameworks
- generate best-practice starter code for a new web project

## When to choose
- starting a new web or react native project from scratch
- you want azure cloud services integrated into generated boilerplate
- you prefer guided wizard-based project setup in vscode

## When to avoid
- adding templates to an existing codebase
- you need a non-azure cloud provider out of the box
- you want full manual control over project structure
