Macaw is a Swift vector graphics library for iOS with SVG support, animations, and transitions. It is now deprecated; the maintainers recommend SwiftUI or SVGView instead.

Use cases

  • render svg images in an ios app
  • draw vector graphics with swift
  • animate vector shapes on ios
  • build custom ui transitions in swift
  • parse and display svg files on ios

When to choose

  • you maintain an existing Macaw-based iOS codebase
  • you need a legacy Swift vector graphics library with SVG support on older toolchains

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new iOS project - use SwiftUI or SVGView instead
  • you need ongoing bug fixes or new features
  • you target the latest Xcode versions and want guaranteed compatibility
