## Description

cardslib is an Android UI component library and card layout framework. It provides a set of specialized adapters and views designed as an extension for high-performance card rendering within recycling lists.

The library distinguishes itself through a reorderable list implementation that supports drag-and-drop item rearrangement and nested content hierarchies. It also includes an interaction system for managing directional swipe constraints and a customizable undo action notification bar.

The framework covers a broad range of card-based interface capabilities, including the composition of visual templates with data models, section grouping, and visibility toggling. It supports the display of card collections in list, grid, or staggered arrangements.
