## What it is
An Android library providing a custom CircularImageView view for displaying circular images with configurable borders, shadows, and gradient colors via XML attributes. It is distributed through Maven Central and written in Kotlin.

## Use cases
- display circular profile pictures in an android app
- add a bordered circular imageview in xml layout
- create avatar images with shadow and gradient colors
- crop images into a circle on android
- customize circular image border width and color

## When to choose
- you need a simple drop-in circular ImageView with XML-configurable styling
- you want border, shadow, and gradient support without writing custom view code
- your project targets older Android APIs (14+)

## When to avoid
- you need advanced image loading or transformation pipelines (use Glide or Coil transformations)
- you need non-circular shape cropping
- you require a library with frequent recent updates
