FlexLayout is a Swift library providing a concise, chainable interface over Facebook's Yoga flexbox layout engine for iOS UI development. It serves as a more versatile and performant alternative to UIStackView for building native iOS layouts.

Use cases

• build iOS layouts with flexbox instead of Auto Layout
• replace UIStackView with a faster, more flexible layout system
• create responsive UIKit interfaces with chainable Swift syntax
• define flex containers and items with margins, paddings, and sizing rules
• use CSS flexbox properties in native iOS apps
• combine with PinLayout for absolute positioning layouts

When to choose

• you're building UIKit-based iOS apps and want flexbox-style layout
• UIStackView is too limiting or slow for your layout needs
• you want a concise, chainable Swift API over the Yoga engine
• you're familiar with CSS flexbox and want the same model in iOS

When to avoid

• you're using SwiftUI, which has its own layout system
• you need layouts for Android or cross-platform without Yoga directly
• your project targets iOS versions below 13.0
• you prefer Auto Layout constraints or Interface Builder workflows
