## What it is
An Android layout library that wraps any view to provide fully customizable shadows (color, offset, blur, corner radius, per-side hiding) as an alternative to CardView. It also replaces drawable XML files by supporting shape, selector, ripple, stroke, gradient backgrounds, and child view corner clipping programmatically.

## Use cases
- add customizable shadows to any Android view
- replace CardView with more flexible shadow control
- remove shape and selector drawable XML files from the project
- set per-corner rounded corners on views
- create buttons with pressed, selected, and ripple states without XML
- clip child views like video players to rounded corners

## When to choose
- you need shadow control beyond what CardView offers, like per-side shadows or custom shadow colors
- you want to eliminate drawable XML files by defining shapes and selectors in code or attributes
- you need dynamic runtime changes to shadows, backgrounds, or button states

## When to avoid
- you are not building Android apps
- you only need standard Material card shadows that CardView already provides
- your project is still on ShadowLayout 2.0 APIs and migration to 3.0 is not feasible
