## What it is
2view is a Java library for Android that converts compatible JSON files into native Android views at runtime, allowing UI changes without recompiling or re-uploading the APK. It is commonly used for A/B testing UI designs and deploying real-time UI fixes.

## Use cases
- update android ui without releasing a new apk
- a/b test different ui designs remotely
- dynamically change app layout per user or scenario
- deploy ui fixes in real time
- load views from  hosted on a server

## When to choose
- you need to change native Android UI remotely without app store review
- you want to run UI A/B tests without shipping new APKs
- your layouts are simple enough that runtime view inflation latency is acceptable

## When to avoid
- you need highly complex layouts where runtime view creation causes latency
- you need a maintained library with recent updates and support
- you are not building a native Android app in Java

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, serialization
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-development
- platform: jvm
