## What it is
DeepLinkKit is an Objective-C library for iOS that provides route-matching, block-based handling of deep links in mobile apps. It lets developers register URL patterns with route handlers instead of manually parsing URLs and navigating to content.

## Use cases
- handle custom URL scheme deep links in an iOS app
- route users to specific in-app content from links
- implement universal links routing in Swift or Objective-C
- parse deep link URLs and extract route parameters
- register block-based handlers for app link paths

## When to choose
- you're building an iOS app in Objective-C or Swift and need simple deep link routing
- you want pattern-based URL matching with block handlers instead of manual URL parsing
- you need a lightweight, MIT-licensed library installable via CocoaPods or Carthage

## When to avoid
- you need deep linking for Android or cross-platform apps
- you're starting a new project and prefer a modern Swift-native routing solution
- you need advanced features like deferred deep linking or attribution analytics
