Few.swift is a React-inspired Swift library for building AppKit and UIKit UIs as stateless functions of their state. When state changes, it re-renders the UI and intelligently applies only the necessary view updates.

Use cases

• build declarative macOS AppKit UIs from state
• build declarative iOS UIKit interfaces as functions of state
• avoid mutable stateful view code in Swift apps
• implement React-style unidirectional data flow in native apps
• render UIs automatically when app state changes

When to choose

• you want React-style declarative UI in Swift on AppKit or UIKit
• you prefer immutable state-driven rendering over imperative view mutation
• you are maintaining an older Swift codebase compatible with Carthage

When to avoid

• starting a new project, since the library is unmaintained since 2017
• you need SwiftUI or modern declarative UI support
• you need active community support or recent iOS/macOS compatibility guarantees
