## What it is
XPEViewer is a cross-platform GUI application for viewing and editing PE (Portable Executable) files, the executable format used on Windows. It provides detailed inspection of PE structures, headers, sections, imports, and disassembly for reverse engineering and malware analysis.

## Use cases
- inspect PE file headers and sections of a Windows executable
- analyze a suspicious binary for malware research
- view imports and exports of a DLL or EXE
- edit fields in a portable executable file
- reverse engineer a Windows binary's structure
- examine PE files on Linux or macOS without Windows

## When to choose
- you need a free cross-platform GUI tool to inspect or edit PE files
- you are doing malware analysis or reverse engineering of Windows executables
- you want detailed low-level views of PE structures without writing scripts

## When to avoid
- you need to analyze ELF or Mach-O binaries instead (use XELFViewer or XMachOViewer)
- you need automated static analysis or decompilation rather than manual inspection
- you require a command-line or scriptable PE parser
