## What it is
A React Native library that simplifies creating animated transitions, most notably shared-element transitions between screens. It provides components like SharedElement and SharedElementRenderer to move UI elements smoothly from a source position to a destination.

## Use cases
- animate shared elements between list and detail screens in react native
- create smooth screen transition animations in react native
- implement material-style container transform animations
- make my app's ui transitions feel more polished
- animate a card expanding into a detail view
- add shared element transitions without writing native code

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native app and want easy shared-element or screen transition animations
- you want a declarative, component-based API for motion instead of manual Animated code

## When to avoid
- you need a actively maintained library with recent updates and broad React Native version support
- you need general-purpose animation primitives beyond shared-element transitions
- your project uses Expo with restrictions incompatible with the library's setup

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
