## What it is
X2C is an Android library that translates XML layouts into equivalent Java code at compile time using APT and JavaPoet, so runtime layout inflation skips XML parsing and reflection. Developers keep writing XML layouts but load them via X2C.setContentView/X2C.inflate, reportedly cutting load time by ~200%.

## Use cases
- speed up android layout inflation
- avoid xml parsing overhead at runtime
- keep xml layouts but load java code instead
- reduce layout loading time in android app startup
- replace layoutinflater inflate with faster alternative

## When to choose
- android apps with layout-heavy screens where inflation time matters
- teams wanting xml maintainability with java-level load performance

## When to avoid
- non-android projects
- projects needing actively maintained dependencies or a clear license
- teams unwilling to adopt annotation processors and custom attribute configs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: build-tool, developer-tools, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, performance, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: android-layout, annotation-processor, xml-to-java, compile-time-codegen, layout-inflation, android
