## What it is
BATabBarController is an iOS library that replaces the standard UITabBarController with one featuring a sleek, customizable selection animation. It is distributed via CocoaPods and Carthage and supports Swift 5, Swift 4, and Objective-C.

## Use cases

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app and want a polished, animated tab bar out of the box
- you want a drop-in CocoaPods/Carthage dependency with customizable animation properties

## When to avoid
