Makes your Cordova application use the [Crosswalk WebView](https://crosswalk-project.org/)
instead of the System WebView. Requires cordova-android 4.0 or greater.

## Benefits

Capabilities: such as WebRTC, WebAudio, and Accelerated 2D Canvas
Performance improvements
Consistent user experience and reduced testing effort across Android devices

## Drawbacks

Increased memory footprint
An overhead of ~30MB (as reported by the RSS column of ps)
Unlike the system WebVew, Crosswalk resources are not shareable between applications
Increased APK size (about 17MB)
Increased size on disk when installed (about 50MB)
Crosswalk Webview does not auto-update
You have to manually upgrade and re-publish your app to take advantage of any Crosswalk performance improvements


### Install

The following directions are for cordova-cli (most people). Alternatively you can use the [Android platform scripts workflow](PlatformScriptsWorkflow.md).
