## What it is
A pure JavaScript tab bar component for React Native that switches between scenes on both iOS and Android. It is standalone and does not depend on any other navigation library.

## Use cases
- add a bottom tab bar to a react native app
- switch between scenes with tabs on ios and android
- customize tab icons badges and styles in react native
- hide the tab bar on certain screens
- avoid native navigation dependencies in react native

## When to choose
- you need a cross-platform tab bar written entirely in JavaScript
- you want a standalone component without depending on a navigation library
- you need fine control over tab styling, badges, and icons

## When to avoid
- you need full navigation stacks, deep linking, or gestures - use react-navigation instead
- you require pixel-perfect native tab bar look and feel
- you are on a modern React Native project needing actively maintained navigation
