## What it is
An Android library providing a DrawerLayout-like ViewGroup where a side menu is hidden under the content view and revealed by shifting it. It offers customizable root transformations (scale, elevation, translation) and a builder API for menu behavior.

## Use cases
- implement a navigation drawer in an Android app
- create a side menu that slides under the content view
- customize drawer open animations with scale and elevation effects
- replace DrawerLayout with a more flexible sliding menu
- add swipe-to-open side navigation to an Android activity

## When to choose
- you want a DrawerLayout alternative with customizable content transformations
- you need a side menu hidden beneath the content view rather than overlaying it
- you want fine-grained control over drawer animations and behavior

## When to avoid
- you need a standard Material Design drawer with built-in menu item handling
- you are not developing for Android
- you need a actively developed library with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-development
- platform: -
- tags: drawer-layout, navigation-drawer, side-menu, android-ui, viewgroup, swipe-menu, android
