## What it is
Enums.NET is a high-performance, type-safe .NET enum utility library offering many enum operations as convenient extension methods. It improves on System.Enum with cached reflection, robust flag enum support, and easy attribute-based member metadata retrieval.

## Use cases
- work with enums type-safely in C#
- get all members and values of an enum
- check if a flags enum has all or any of specified flags
- retrieve Description or Display attributes from enum members
- parse and format enum values efficiently
- validate enum values

## When to choose
- you need faster, cached alternatives to System.Enum reflection calls
- you work heavily with flag enums and need clear all/any semantics
- you want to associate metadata attributes with enum members easily

## When to avoid
- you only need basic enum operations already covered by System.Enum
- your project targets .NET Framework below 4.6.1 or .NET Standard 1.x
