[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.
If you like and use CefSharp please consider signing up for a small monthly donation, even $25 can help tremendously. See [Financial Support](#Financial-Support) for more details.
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).
* 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.
* Upgrading from an earlier version of CefSharp? See the [ChangeLog](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/ChangeLog) for breaking changes and upgrade tips.
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).

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/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=cefsharp+fork%3Atrue&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults).
*Note* Due to so many Forks - Github can't process them through the `Network Graphs` Section so, if you need to do a search use the following: `cefsharp fork:true` and it will be able to process all of the forks.
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).
Every commit on `master` produces a `Nuget` package. Use at your own risk!

Now that I (@amaitland) am a stay at home dad your contributions are the only reason I'm allowed to continue working on the project. Without continued funding the time I currently spend on the project will have to be put into finding other paid work.
