## What it is
DropdownMenu is an iOS navigation controller that swaps the view of a Container View Controller via a dropdown menu, built with storyboards and segues. It is written in Objective-C and inspired by the dropdown menus in the iOS 7 Dropbox and Vine apps.

## Use cases
- add a dropdown menu navigation to an iOS app
- replace tab bar with a less visually distracting menu
- swap child view controllers in a container view via a menu
- build a Dropbox-style dropdown navigation in UIKit
- use storyboards and segues to wire up menu-driven navigation

## When to choose
- you are building an older Objective-C or storyboard-based iOS app and want a dropdown-style navigation controller

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern SwiftUI app
- you need a maintained library with recent updates or Swift support
- you want a slide-out menu or tab bar instead
