## What it is
Insetter is a Kotlin library that simplifies handling Android WindowInsets, providing declarative APIs and Data Binding adapters for applying system bar insets as padding or margins. It has been deprecated and archived, with Jetpack Compose recommended as the migration path.

## Use cases
- handle window insets in android views
- apply navigation bar insets as padding
- edge-to-edge layout support in android apps
- system bar inset handling with data binding
- avoid content overlapping status and navigation bars

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing View-based Android app that already uses Insetter
- needing simple View-based WindowInsets handling without Compose

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use Jetpack Compose instead
- needing ongoing support or updates, since the library is archived
