## What it is
A collection of official Microsoft sample projects for WebView2, the embedded Edge-based browser control. It includes getting-started tutorials, full sample apps across frameworks, and deployment samples.

## Use cases
- learn how to embed a web browser in a Windows desktop app
- see WebView2 API usage examples in Win32, WinForms, or WPF

- reference sample code when building a hybrid desktop web app

## When to choose
- you are building a Windows desktop app that hosts web content with WebView2
- you want official, maintained example code from Microsoft
- you need deployment guidance for the WebView2 Runtime

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than sample code
- you are targeting non-Windows platforms
- you want a library to install as a dependency rather than reference projects

- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, gui, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, desktop-applications, web-development, tutorials
