## What it is
iosMath is a native iOS/macOS library that renders LaTeX math equations in a UIView/NSView subclass using TeX typesetting rules, without a WebView. It is the native-app equivalent of MathJax or KaTeX, distributed via Swift Package Manager.

## Use cases
- render latex equations in an ios app
- display math formulas natively on macos without webview
- show fractions and exponents in a swiftui view
- typeset quadratic formula in a uikit label
- fast math rendering like katex but for ios
- render calculus notation in an education app

## When to choose
- you need native, fast LaTeX math rendering in iOS or macOS apps
- you want TeX-accurate typesetting without embedding a WebView
- you use UIKit, AppKit, or SwiftUI and need a view-based math label

## When to avoid
- you need interactive math editing rather than display-only rendering
- your app targets web platforms where KaTeX or MathJax fit better
- you need full LaTeX document typesetting rather than equations

## Facets
- artifact type: library
