## What it is
ASCollectionView is a SwiftUI library that provides UICollectionView and UITableView-style collection views with custom layouts, preloading, cell autosizing, and selection support. It is distributed via Swift Package Manager and CocoaPods for iOS apps.

## Use cases
- build custom grid layouts in SwiftUI
- implement collection views with preloading in SwiftUI
- create compositional layout collection views in SwiftUI
- autosize SwiftUI collection view cells
- use Core Data FetchedResults as a collection view data source
- build table views with removable separators in SwiftUI

## When to choose
- targeting iOS 15 or earlier where native SwiftUI lacks these collection view features
- you need UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout or custom layouts within SwiftUI
- you want preloading and onAppear/onDisappear hooks for lazy content loading

## When to avoid
- targeting iOS 16 or later, where native SwiftUI LazyStacks, Layout protocol, and UIHostingConfiguration cover most use cases
- starting a new project, since the repository is no longer maintained
- you need long-term support or bug fixes from an active community
