## What it is
Mavericks (formerly MvRx) is Airbnb's Android framework for building screens with an unidirectional state management architecture based on Kotlin ViewModels. It is used for nearly all product development at Airbnb and is distributed via Maven Central.

## Use cases
- manage android app state with viewmodels
- build android screens with mvvm architecture
- unidirectional data flow on android
- simplify android app architecture in kotlin
- reduce android boilerplate for state handling

## When to choose
- you are building an Android app in Kotlin and want a batteries-included state management framework
- you want an opinionated MVVM architecture proven at Airbnb scale
- you want less boilerplate for ViewModel and state handling

## When to avoid
- you are not developing for Android
- you prefer Compose-first state patterns or another architecture like MVI libraries you already use
- your project is not on Gradle

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: state-management, mobile-framework
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: mvvm, unidirectional-data-flow, jetpack, mvrx, android, mobile
