## What it is
LinkedIn's official style guide for the Swift programming language, covering code formatting, naming, coding style, and documentation conventions. It is a reference document rather than executable software.

## Use cases
- standardize Swift code style across a team
- decide how to format braces and guard statements in Swift
- learn naming conventions for Swift APIs
- set up Swift linting rules based on a company style guide
- onboard new iOS developers to a shared coding style

## When to choose
- you want a battle-tested corporate Swift style guide to adopt or adapt
- you need a reference for consistent Swift formatting and naming conventions
- you are aligning an iOS team on code review standards

## When to avoid
- you need an automated formatter or linter rather than a written guide
- you need guidance for Swift versions newer than 4.0, as the guide was last updated in 2018
- you are looking for Objective-C or other language conventions
