## What it is
Laurine is a Swift-based localization code generator that parses .strings localization files and produces type-safe Swift or Objective-C code with a structured Localizations API. It eliminates magic strings so the compiler catches missing or mistyped localization keys and validates format specifiers.

## Use cases
- generate type-safe localization constants from .strings files
- catch missing translation keys at compile time in iOS apps
- validate format specifiers in localized strings
- replace magic strings in Swift code with generated accessors
- integrate localization codegen into an Xcode build script

## When to choose
- you develop iOS/macOS/tvOS apps in Swift or Objective-C with .strings files
- you want compile-time safety for localization keys and format arguments
- you prefer a lightweight CLI that fits into build scripts

## When to avoid
- your project uses modern String Catalogs (.xcstrings) or third-party localization tooling like SwiftGen
- you target platforms outside the Apple ecosystem
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was in 2018
