## What it is
A lightweight Android UI library for creating customizable bottom and top navigation bars with bubble-style animations, badges, and multiple layout modes. It provides two navigation view types plus a BubbleToggleView for building custom UI components.

## Use cases
- add a bottom navigation bar to my android app
- create a floating top navigation bar with animations
- customize a bottom navigation view with badges
- build a material design navigation bar in android
- animate state changes in android navigation items
- make an equal-width bottom bar with icons and labels

## When to choose
- you need a highly customizable, animated bottom or top navigation bar on Android
- you want badge support and multiple layout modes (spread, inside, packed) out of the box
- your app supports older Android versions down to API 16

## When to avoid
- you need a Jetpack Compose navigation component
- you require long-term maintenance and recent updates
- you only need standard Material BottomNavigationView without customization

- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, routing
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-design
