## What it is
FlexLib is an Objective-C layout framework for iOS based on the flexbox model, using XML files to define UI layouts with automatic variable and event binding. It brings web-style layout speed to iOS development, including hot preview, keyboard avoidance, and iPhone X adaptation.

## Use cases
- build iOS interfaces with XML flexbox layouts instead of autolayout
- hot reload UI layouts while developing an iOS app
- speed up iOS UI development like writing web pages
- adapt iOS layouts to iPhone X notch and safe areas
- avoid keyboard overlap in forms automatically
- use flexbox layout in Swift iOS projects

## When to choose
- you want faster, more readable iOS layouts than autolayout or Masonry
- your team is familiar with CSS flexbox and wants that model on iOS
- you need live/hot preview of UI changes during development

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or cross-platform only
- you prefer SwiftUI or storyboard-based workflows
- the project requires a very actively maintained ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, templating, state-management
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: flexbox, xml-layout, autolayout, hot-reload, objective-c, yoga, iphone-x, ui-framework, ios, mobile
