## What it is
FileKit is a Swift framework providing simple and expressive file management, wrapping file and path operations in a clean Swift API. It supports macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS and is distributed via CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager.

## Use cases
- read and write files in swift
- manage file paths in an ios app
- delete or move files with a swift api
- wrap nsfilemanager with a nicer interface
- handle text file i/o in swift

## When to choose
- you are building an apple-platform app in swift and want ergonomic file operations
- you prefer a typed, expressive API over raw Foundation FileManager calls

## When to avoid
- you need cross-platform (Linux/Windows) file handling in Swift
- you need a library under very active development, as releases are infrequent

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system
- domain: files, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: -
- tags: swift-framework, file-management, paths, cocoapods, carthage, macos, ios, swift
