## What it is
A React Native library providing a MaskedView component that renders its children through an alpha-channel mask defined by another React element. It supports iOS, Android, and Web, and is maintained under the @react-native-masked-view organization.

## Use cases
- render text with a gradient or image fill in react native
- create masked image effects in a mobile app
- apply an alpha mask to any react native view
- build gradient text headers in react native
- mask views on ios, android, and web with one component

## When to choose
- you need alpha-channel masking of views in a React Native app
- you want cross-platform (iOS/Android/Web) masked view support
- you need gradient or image-filled text and shapes

## When to avoid
- you are not using React Native
- you need complex image editing rather than view masking
- you need masking in a native-only app without React Native

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, graphics
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react-native, masked-view, masking, javascript, ios, android, web
