## What it is
The development environment and source repository for Android Jetpack's androidx.* extension libraries, synchronized with AOSP's primary development branch. It hosts libraries like Room, Compose Runtime, WorkManager, Navigation, and AppCompat that are distributed as binaries via Google Maven.

## Use cases
- contribute a bug fix to an Android Jetpack library like Room or WorkManager
- build AndroidX libraries from source to test unreleased changes
- browse the source of androidx.* libraries to debug app behavior
- submit a new test or documentation improvement to Jetpack
- experiment with snapshot builds of AndroidX libraries

## When to choose
- you want to contribute code, tests, or docs to Android Jetpack libraries
- you need to build or debug androidx libraries from source
- you want to track the latest Jetpack development branch

## When to avoid
- you just want to use Jetpack libraries in your app - consume the published binaries from Google Maven instead
- you want to propose a brand-new module - new modules are not accepted via GitHub
- you need a stable, versioned release rather than in-progress development code
