## What it is
An Android library that provides a collection of ItemAnimator implementations and appearance-animation adapters for RecyclerView. It lets developers add slide, fade, scale, and other item animations with a single line of code.

## Use cases
- animate items being added or removed from a RecyclerView list
- add slide-in animations when list items appear
- customize RecyclerView item animation duration and interpolators
- create animated Android list UIs without writing custom animators
- apply appearance animations to RecyclerView adapters

## When to choose
- you want prebuilt, easy-to-apply animations for Android RecyclerView items
- you need item add/remove/appearance animations with minimal code
- you want a well-established Android UI animation library

## When to avoid
- you use Jetpack Compose instead of RecyclerView
- you need highly custom animation choreography beyond the provided animators
- you need a library under active development with frequent updates

- artifact type: library

- function: animation, ui-components
