## What it is
DivKit is an open-source Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework that renders UI from JSON descriptions supplied by a server. It lets you write a layout once and ship it to iOS, Android, and Web, enabling server-sourced UI updates without app releases.

## Use cases
- roll out UI updates to mobile apps without releasing new app versions
- prototype app interfaces quickly with JSON layouts
- render the same UI layout across iOS, Android, and web
- embed server-driven cards or feeds into an existing app
- update app UI live over websockets from a server

## When to choose
- you want to update app UI from the server without app store releases
- you need one UI definition that works on iOS, Android, and web
- you want to start with client-side JSON before adding server integration
- you need fast UI prototyping for mobile apps

## When to avoid
- your UI is static and rarely changes, so shipping it in the app binary is simpler
- you need highly custom native interactions beyond the framework's component set
- you cannot accept the added complexity of a server-driven rendering pipeline
