## What it is
An Android library that makes it easy to build UI cards using the official Google CardView. It provides built-in card types, RecyclerView and staggered grid support, and drag-and-drop extras.

## Use cases
- display card-based UI in an Android app
- build a Google Play-style card list
- create staggered grid card layouts
- add drag-and-drop cards to Android
- wrap content in Material CardView

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app already using cardslib
- you need quick CardView-based card UIs on older Android projects

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the library is unmaintained and Material Components CardView is the modern choice
- you need Jetpack Compose support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: mobile-development, web-design
- platform: jvm
- tags: cardview, material-design, android-ui, recyclerview, staggered-grid, android
