# Migration from @arcware/webrtc-plugin

## **Overview**

The <mark style="color:purple;">`@arcware-cloud/pixelstreaming-websdk`</mark> package is an advanced, feature-rich library for integrating Unreal Engine's Pixel Streaming technology into web applications. It offers a more streamlined and flexible approach compared to the older <mark style="color:orange;">`@arcware/webrtc-plugin`</mark> package.

***

## **Key Differences**

1. **Package Scope and Features**:
   * <mark style="color:orange;">`@arcware/webrtc-plugin`</mark> primarily focuses on establishing WebRTC connections.
   * <mark style="color:purple;">`@arcware-cloud/pixelstreaming-websdk`</mark> extends functionality to include full Pixel Streaming integration, offering a more comprehensive set of tools for interaction with Unreal Engine applications.
2. **API Design**:
   * The new package offers a more modern, modular API design, making it easier to integrate and scale with web applications.
3. **Performance and Optimization**:
   * Enhanced performance optimizations are present in the new package, ensuring smoother streaming and interaction experiences.

***

## **Installation**

Replace the old package with the new one in your project:

```bash
npm uninstall @arcware/webrtc-plugin
npm install @arcware-cloud/pixelstreaming-websdk
```

***

## **Basic Usage Changes**

<mark style="color:blue;">**Initialization**</mark><mark style="color:blue;">:</mark>

* Old package:

  ```javascript
  import { WebRTC } from '@arcware/webrtc-plugin';
  const webrtc = new WebRTC(config);
  ```
* New package:

  ```javascript
  import { ArcwareInit } from '@arcware-cloud/pixelstreaming-websdk';
  const { Application } = ArcwareInit(config);
  ```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.arcware.cloud/web-integration/migration-from-arcware-webrtc-plugin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
