## What it is
AEXML is a simple and lightweight Swift library for reading and writing XML. It provides an easy-to-use API for casual XML handling rather than being a full-featured XML parser.

## Use cases
- parse xml files in an ios app
- read xml data from a bundle resource
- generate xml strings from swift code
- traverse xml elements and attributes easily
- lightweight xml handling without heavy dependencies

## When to choose
- you need simple, casual XML parsing in Swift
- you want a lightweight dependency for reading and writing XML
- you are building iOS, macOS, watchOS, or tvOS apps

## When to avoid
- you need a robust, full-featured, standards-compliant XML parser
- you need validation, namespaces, or advanced XML features
- your project is not in the Apple/Swift ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: parser, serialization
- domain: parsers, developer-tools, mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: xml, xml-parsing, swift, lightweight, cocoapods, swift-package-manager, ios, macos, watchos, tvos
