## What it is
DeepLinkDispatch is an annotation-based Android library for declarative deep link handling. Activities are annotated with @DeepLink and URIs, and the library parses incoming URIs and dispatches them to the right Activity with extracted parameters.

## Use cases
- route incoming deep link URIs to Android activities
- extract path and query parameters from deep links
- register multiple deep links on a single activity
- auto-generate AndroidManifest intent filter entries for deep links
- handle deep links with multiple schemes, hosts, and domains

## When to choose
- you build Android apps that need to open specific screens from URLs or notifications
- you want declarative, annotation-based deep link registration instead of manual intent filter parsing
- you have many deep links across modules and want manifest entries generated automatically

## When to avoid
- you need deep link handling on iOS or non-Android platforms
- you prefer Jetpack Navigation's built-in deep link support
- your project does not use annotation processing (KSP/kapt)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: routing, middleware
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-development
- platform: jvm
- tags: deep-links, annotation-processor, uri-routing, android-library, android
