[CefSharp](http://cefsharp.github.io/) lets you embed Chromium in .NET apps. It is a lightweight .NET wrapper around the [Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef) by Marshall A. Greenblatt. About 30% of the bindings are written in C++/CLI with the majority of code here is C#. It can be used from C# or VB, or any other CLR language. CefSharp provides both WPF and WinForms web browser control implementations.
CefSharp is [BSD](http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause "BSD License") licensed, so it can be used in both proprietary and free/open source applications. For the full details, see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.
## Releases
Stable binaries are released on NuGet, and contain everything you need to embed Chromium in your .Net/CLR application. For usage see the [Quick Start](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Quick-Start) guide or [FAQ #8](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions#CefSharp_binaries).

## Documentation
* See the [CefSharp.Wpf.Example](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/tree/master/CefSharp.Wpf.Example) or [CefSharp.WinForms.Example](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/tree/master/CefSharp.WinForms.Example) projects for example web browsers built with CefSharp. They demo most of the available features.
* See the [CefSharp.MinimalExample](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample/) project for a basic demo of using the CefSharp NuGet packages.
* See the [Wiki](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki) for work-in-progress documentation
* See the [FAQ](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions) for help with common issues
* Upgrading from an earlier version of CefSharp? See the [ChangeLog](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/ChangeLog) for breaking changes and upgrade tips.
## Contact
If you have a simple question please start by asking it on [](https://gitter.im/cefsharp/CefSharp?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge). Before opening an issue or submitting a `PR` please read [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
[Stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cefsharp) as always is a useful resource. The [CefSharp Google Group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cefsharp) is **no longer active**. It is however a useful resource for archived questions/answers.
## Branches & Forks
This is the `official` CefSharp fork, as maintained by the CefSharp community. You can also view [the entire network of public forks/branches](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/network).
Development is done in the `master` branch. New features are preferably added in feature branches, if the changes are more than trivial. New `PR's` should be targeted against `master`.
When a new release is imminent a `release` branch is created. We try to avoid making public facing `API` changes in `release` branches (Adding new features is fine, just not breaking changes).
### Build Status
**CI Builds**
Every commit on `master` produces a `Nuget` package. Use at your own risk! [CefSharp MyGet Feed](https://www.myget.org/gallery/cefsharp)
**Pre-release**
**Stable**
 for either [WPF](http://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.Wpf/) or
[WinForms](http://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.WinForms/) or
[OffScreen](http://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.OffScreen/).
