## What it is
A React Native library providing bottom tab navigation built on native platform primitives like SwiftUI's TabView and Android's BottomNavigationView. It integrates with React Navigation and Expo Router as a drop-in replacement for JavaScript-based bottom tabs.

## Use cases
- add native bottom tab bar to react native app
- replace javascript bottom tabs with native tabs
- bottom tab navigation with expo router
- integrate tabs with react navigation
- native tab bar on ios and android
- bottom tabs for visionos or tvos app

## When to choose
- you want platform-native look and feel for bottom tabs in React Native
- you already use React Navigation or Expo Router and need tab navigation
- you target Apple platforms or Android with native styling (Material 3)

## When to avoid
- you need web support, since native primitives are unavailable on web
- you rely on Expo Go, which is not supported
- you need fully custom JavaScript-controlled tab styling
