## What it is
lla is a fast, customizable `ls` replacement written in Rust with multiple listing views, Git-aware output, filtering, content search, and machine-readable formats. It supports themes, shortcuts, and an extensible plugin system including native and WASM plugins.

## Use cases
- replace ls with a faster modern alternative
- list directories with git status in terminal
- view directory tree with depth limits
- search file contents from the command line
- output directory listings as json
- group files by modification time
- customize terminal file listing colors and themes

## When to choose
- you want a feature-rich ls alternative with tree, long, and git views
- you need machine-readable directory output for scripts
- you want an extensible file lister with plugin support
- you use multiple platforms including Windows and NetBSD

## When to avoid
- you need POSIX-exact ls behavior for shell scripts
- you prefer minimal tools with no configuration
- your environment cannot run Rust binaries or lacks WASM support
