## What it is
AloeStackView is a Swift library for iOS that lays out a collection of views in a vertical or horizontal list using Auto Layout, with a simple API for adding, removing, hiding, and animating rows. It trades UITableView features like view recycling for a simpler, safer developer experience.

## Use cases
- build scrollable forms and settings screens in iOS quickly
- lay out a vertical list of views without UITableView complexity
- dynamically add, remove, or hide rows with animation
- create simple list UIs where view recycling is unnecessary
- keep strong references to row views and update them reactively

## When to choose
- you need a simple, safe API for small-to-medium lists of views
- you want Auto Layout to automatically keep the UI up to date
- your list is short enough that view recycling is not needed
- you want a tiny dependency with no external dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need to display very large or unbounded lists with view recycling
- you need UITableView features like cell reuse for performance
- you need a maintained library — the latest release was in 2021
