## What it is
Cicerone is a lightweight Kotlin library that simplifies navigation in Android apps, supporting MVP/MVVM/MVI and any architecture. It offers lifecycle-safe, statically-typed navigation commands with features like multibackstack parallel navigation and deeplink handling.

## Use cases
- navigate between screens in an android app
- implement instagram-like multibackstack bottom tab navigation
- handle deeplinks opening multiple screens in one call
- make navigation unit-testable in mvp or mvi architecture
- add transition animations between screens
- manage fragment navigation without jetpack navigation

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, framework-free navigation library for android
- you need parallel navigation with multiple back stacks
- you use mvp/mvvm/mvi and want statically-typed screen parameters
- you need navigation that is easy to unit test and extend

## When to avoid
- you prefer jetpack navigation and compose-first navigation APIs
- your project is not android
- you need a full-featured navigation framework with type-safe routes generated for you

## Facets
