Cartography is a declarative DSL for building Auto Layout constraints in Swift, replacing verbose NSLayoutConstraint code with concise operator-based syntax. It supports iOS and macOS views, constraint groups, and constraint replacement.

Use cases

  • lay out iOS views with Auto Layout in declarative Swift code
  • replace verbose NSLayoutConstraint boilerplate with readable constraints
  • animate view layout changes by replacing constraint groups
  • define constraints between UIKit or AppKit views using operators

When to choose

  • you build UIKit/AppKit interfaces in Swift and want concise, type-safe Auto Layout code
  • you prefer operator-based constraint DSLs over Interface Builder or raw NSLayoutConstraint

When to avoid

  • you use SwiftUI or programmatic layoutAnchor APIs which cover most needs natively
  • you need a library under a standard permissive license or with very active development
