## What it is
A Swift library for live camera and microphone streaming via RTMP, SRT, and WebRTC (WHEP/WHIP) on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It supports multi-camera access, multi-streaming, screen capture, and video mixing features like watermarking.

## Use cases
- stream camera and microphone to an RTMP server from an iOS app
- build a live streaming app with SRT protocol on Apple platforms
- publish and play back live video in a Swift app
- capture and stream the screen using ReplayKit or ScreenCaptureKit
- overlay text or watermarks on video during a live broadcast
- stream to multiple services simultaneously from one device

## When to choose
- you need RTMP or SRT streaming natively in Swift on iOS, macOS, tvOS, or visionOS
- you want multi-camera, multi-stream, or screen capture support in a live app
- you need a mature, actively maintained streaming library with 10 years of development

## When to avoid
- you need streaming on Android or non-Apple platforms (use the companion HaishinKit.kt instead)
- you need a full-featured WebRTC implementation rather than alpha-stage WHEP/WHIP support
- you need guaranteed technical support without becoming a sponsor or contributor
