## What it is
FlexboxLayout is an Android library that brings CSS Flexible Box Layout capabilities to Android views. It provides a ViewGroup and a RecyclerView LayoutManager for flexible, wrapping layouts.

- lay out items that wrap to multiple lines

## When to choose
- you need flexbox-style wrapping or flexible sizing in an Android UI
- you want a RecyclerView LayoutManager that flows items like flexbox

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose modern layout system with active development
- your project doesn't use AndroidX
