## What it is
A Kotlin library that simplifies Android View Binding usage via property delegates. It lazily creates ViewBinding instances and clears references on view destruction to prevent memory leaks.

## Use cases
- bind views in fragments without nullable binding references
- avoid memory leaks from retained ViewBinding instances
- lazily create ViewBinding in activities and fragments
- replace findViewById boilerplate with delegates
- use ViewBinding in RecyclerView adapters and BottomSheets

## When to choose
- you use Android ViewBinding and want concise, leak-safe binding access
- you want a no-reflection, performant delegate implementation
- you work with fragments where binding must be cleared in onDestroyView

## When to avoid
- you use Jetpack Compose exclusively with no ViewBinding
- your project has ViewBinding disabled or uses DataBinding features instead
