## What it is
Scene is a lightweight Android library for navigation and UI composition based on views, designed to replace Activities and Fragments in a single-activity architecture. It offers navigation stack management, enhanced lifecycle handling, shared element animations, and full compatibility with the Jetpack Fragment framework.

## Use cases
- migrate an android app to a single activity architecture
- replace fragments with a faster navigation framework
- manage multiple navigation stacks in android
- implement shared element transitions between pages
- avoid fragment view destruction on navigation
- reduce activity startup overhead in android apps
- handle state saving and restoration for pages

## When to choose
- you are building or refactoring an Android app around the single-activity pattern
- you need Fragment-compatible navigation with better performance and lifecycle control
- you want lightweight navigation stacks with shared element animation support

## When to avoid
- you are not developing for Android
- your project is deeply committed to Jetpack Navigation Component or multi-activity design
- you need a cross-platform navigation solution
