## What it is
FLKAutoLayout is a collection of Objective-C categories on UIView that simplify creating Auto Layout constraints programmatically. It offers a readable syntax with convenience methods for simple and complex constraints, automatically adding them to the nearest common superview.

## Use cases
- create autolayout constraints in code instead of interface builder
- align multiple views in a grid programmatically
- space out views vertically with fixed padding
- set up view constraints with readable objective-c syntax
- align baselines of labels and text fields
- constrain view width and height ranges in code

## When to choose
- you build iOS UIs in Objective-C entirely in code without storyboards
- you want a lightweight, readable wrapper around NSLayoutConstraint
- you need convenience methods for aligning groups of views

## When to avoid
- you use Swift and prefer modern alternatives like SnapKit
- you build layouts with Interface Builder or SwiftUI
- you need a library under active development
