## What it is
EasyAnimation is a Swift library that extends UIView.animateWithDuration to support layer animations, springs, and chainable animations without private APIs. It lets developers mix view and layer animations using familiar UIKit syntax.

## Use cases
- animate calayers from uiview animate calls in swift
- create spring animations for ios layers
- chain multiple animations together in uikit
- mix view and layer animations in one call
- replace verbose cabasicanimation code
- cancel running animation chains on ios

## When to choose
- You want to animate layers using familiar UIView.animate syntax
- You need spring or chained animations without learning Core Animation APIs
- You want an App Store-safe animation library with no private API usage

## When to avoid
- You need actively maintained animation tooling - the library has not seen releases since 2020
- You target SwiftUI rather than UIKit-based animation
- You need advanced Core Animation features beyond what the library extends

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: uikit, core-animation, swift-animations, spring-animations, chained-animations, ios, swift, mobile
