Avalonia/WPF control that wraps CefGlue webview control

![Screenshot](./SampleWebView.Avalonia/screenshot.png)

WebView lets you embed Chromium in .NET apps. It is a .NET wrapper control around [CefGlue](https://github.com/OutSystems/CefGlue) and provides a better and simple API. Likewise CefGlue it can be used from C# or any other CLR language and provides both Avalonia and WPF web browser control implementations. 

Here's a table for supported architectures, frameworks and operating systems:

| OS      | x64 | ARM64 | WPF | Avalonia |

|---------|-----|-------|-----|----------|

| Windows | ✔️  | ✔️      | ✔️   | ✔️        |

| macOS   | ✔️  | ✔️      | ❌  | ✔️        |

| Linux   | ✔️  | 🔘     | ❌  | ✔️        |

✔️ Supported | ❌ Not supported | 🔘 Works with issues.

See [LINUX.md](https://github.com/OutSystems/CefGlue/blob/main/LINUX.md) for more information about issues and tested distribution list. 

Currently only x64 and ARM64 architectures are supported.

It also provides the following additional features:

- Strongly-typed javascript evaluation: results of javascript evaluation returns the appropriate type

- Scripts are aggregated and executed in bulk for improved performance

- Ability to evaluate javascript synchronously

- Javascript error handling with call stack information

- Events to intercept and respond to resources loading

- Events to track file download progress

- Ability to load embedded resources using custom protocols

- Ability to disable history navigation

- Error handling

- Proxy configuration support

- Option to run in [offscreen rendering mode](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/GeneralUsage#markdown-header-off-screen-rendering) (not recommended as it has several issues)

## Releases

Stable binaries are released on NuGet, and contain everything you need to embed Chromium in your .NET/CLR application.
