## What it is
A Swift library for iOS that keeps any UIView visible above the keyboard without requiring a UIScrollView. It translates or animates constraints of a registered avoiding view when the keyboard appears and restores it when dismissed.

## Use cases
- keep text fields visible above the keyboard in iOS forms
- avoid keyboard overlap without using a scroll view
- move any UIView up when the keyboard is shown
- handle iPad split and undocked keyboards
- support third-party keyboards in an iOS app
- animate Auto Layout constraints when the keyboard appears

## When to choose
- you need keyboard avoidance for arbitrary UIViews, not just text fields
- you want a lightweight solution without embedding content in a UIScrollView
- your app uses Auto Layout or AutoresizingMask layouts
- you need iPad split/undocked keyboard support

## When to avoid
- you prefer scrollable content that users can pan manually
- you're building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit
- you need a heavily maintained library with frequent updates
- you need cross-platform (non-iOS) keyboard handling
