## What it is
ECSlidingViewController is an Objective-C view controller container for iOS that implements layered 'hamburger menu' / slide-out side menu navigation with customizable transitions and storyboard support. The project is explicitly no longer maintained, with the last release in January 2018.

## Use cases
- add a slide-out side menu to an iOS app
- implement hamburger drawer navigation in UIKit
- create layered view controller transitions on iOS
- build a sidebar navigation with storyboard support
- customize sliding menu animations in Objective-C

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy iOS 7-era Objective-C app already using it
- you need a lightweight, customizable side menu container and accept unmaintained code

## When to avoid
- starting any new iOS project
- you need Swift, modern iOS support, or ongoing maintenance
- SwiftUI or modern UIKit alternatives are available

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation, state-management
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, cross-platform
- platform: cpp
- tags: objective-c, side-menu, hamburger-menu, uikit, view-controller-container, storyboards, drawer-navigation, ios, mobile, swift
