## What it is
A collection of sample applications demonstrating Xamarin.Forms, Microsoft's cross-platform .NET UI toolkit for building iOS, Android, and UWP apps in C#. The samples cover topics like navigation, data binding, web services, local databases, and XAML styling, and are browsable via Microsoft's sample browser.

## Use cases
- learn xamarin.forms by example
- find sample code for cross-platform mobile apps in c#
- see how to call a rest api from a xamarin app
- example of sqlite local storage in a mobile app
- xaml styling and navigation examples
- reference samples when migrating xamarin apps to maui

## When to choose
- you are learning Xamarin.Forms and want runnable example apps
- you need a starting point for a specific feature like REST services, SQLite, or Shell navigation
- you maintain or study legacy Xamarin.Forms codebases

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new cross-platform .NET app - use .NET MAUI instead, as Xamarin.Forms support ended in May 2024
- you need a production framework or library rather than example code
- you target platforms outside iOS, Android, and UWP without using the community forks
