## What it is
Xamarin bindings for Lottie that parse Adobe After Effects animations exported as JSON via Bodymovin and render them natively on Android, iOS, macOS, and tvOS. It provides AnimationView controls for Xamarin.Forms and native NuGet packages for each platform.

## Use cases
- play after effects animations in a xamarin app
- render lottie json animations on ios and android with c#
- add bodymovin animation views to xamarin forms
- ship designer-made animations without recreating them in code
- load lottie animations from assets, files, or urls in xamarin

## When to choose
- you build Xamarin or Xamarin.Forms apps and want native Lottie rendering
- designers export animations from After Effects with Bodymovin
- you need cross-platform animation playback from a single C# codebase

## When to avoid
- you use .NET MAUI, Flutter, or React Native instead of Xamarin
- you need a non-mobile platform like web or Windows desktop
- you need a library under very active development, as Xamarin support is winding down

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, parser, json
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, graphics, cross-platform
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: lottie, xamarin, xamarin-forms, after-effects, bodymovin, maui, android, ios, mobile
