## What it is
GKPhotoBrowser is a highly customizable iOS photo and video browser library written in Objective-C, mimicking the image viewers of WeChat and Toutiao. It supports local, network, and album resources with multiple show/hide animations, gestures, GIF and Live Photo playback, and pluggable image loading (SDWebImage, YYWebImage, Kingfisher) and video playback (AVPlayer, ZFPlayer, IJKPlayer) backends.

## Use cases
- add a WeChat-style photo viewer to an iOS app
- browse images and videos in a feed with zoom animations
- display GIFs and Live Photos in a gallery
- customize photo browser overlay views and gestures
- play videos inline from an image carousel
- swipe to dismiss image viewer on iPhone and iPad

## When to choose
- building a native iOS or iPadOS app that needs an image/video gallery viewer
- you want customizable show/hide transitions and overlay views
- you need pluggable image loading or video playback backends via CocoaPods subspecs
- you need Objective-C with Swift interoperability

## When to avoid
- building for Android or cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native
- you need a full photo picker or camera capture solution rather than a viewer
- your project is Swift-only and you prefer a pure Swift library
