## What it is
Sui is a modern superuser (root) interface implementation for Android, installed as a Magisk/Riru module. It provides Java APIs (Shizuku API) that let root apps call Android framework APIs directly as root instead of shelling out to 'su' commands.

## Use cases
- call Android framework APIs as root from a Java app
- run an AIDL-style service under root on Android
- develop root apps without parsing 'su' command output
- avoid root detection by not installing a manager app or PATH binaries
- grant and manage root access for apps on a rooted Android device

## When to choose
- you are developing an Android root app in Java and want structured Binder-based API access instead of shell commands
- you want root capability that is harder for apps to detect than traditional su binaries
- your device already runs Magisk and you want a cleaner superuser interface

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone root solution without Magisk
- you only need to run occasional shell commands as root and existing su tools suffice
- your app must support devices without Magisk/Riru installed
