Layout is a native Swift framework for building iOS user interfaces with XML template files and runtime-evaluated expressions. It serves as a drop-in replacement for Nibs and Storyboards, offering human-readable templates and live editing.
Use cases
- build iOS UIs with XML templates instead of storyboards
- live-reload iOS interface layouts while editing
- replace nibs and storyboards with readable declarative files
- bind UI state and actions via runtime expressions in iOS apps
- create custom reusable UI components for iOS
When to choose
- you prefer XML templates over Interface Builder storyboards
- you want live editing and reloading of iOS layouts
- your team wants human-readable, diff-friendly UI definitions
When to avoid
- you are building for platforms other than iOS
- you want a framework with active ongoing development
- you prefer SwiftUI or fully programmatic UIKit layouts
