Litho is a declarative UI framework from Facebook for building efficient Android user interfaces using immutable components and a functional render API. It optimizes performance through asynchronous layout, view hierarchy flattening via Yoga, and fine-grained recycling of individual UI elements.
Use cases
- build efficient scrollable UIs on Android
- declarative UI framework for Android apps
- reduce view hierarchy depth for better scroll performance
- recycle individual UI components in long lists
- build complex RecyclerView-based feeds
- measure and layout UI off the main thread
When to choose
- building complex, highly-optimized scrollable Android UIs like feeds or timelines
- you need asynchronous layout and fine-grained recycling for performance
- your team prefers a declarative, React-like component model on Android
When to avoid
- building simple Android apps where Jetpack Compose or standard Views suffice
- you want a large community ecosystem and frequent third-party libraries
- your team works primarily in Java with the legacy Spec API and wants modern Kotlin-first tooling
