## What it is
Parchment is a Swift library providing a customizable paging view controller for iOS with a flexible menu indicator built on UICollectionView. It supports both SwiftUI and UIKit, lazy allocation of pages, and infinite scrolling data sources.

## Use cases
- build a swipeable tab bar with a scrolling menu indicator on iOS
- create a calendar with infinite paging between months
- page between view controllers without loading them all upfront
- add a customizable paging menu to a SwiftUI app
- replace UIPageViewController with a more flexible paging component

## When to choose
- you need a highly customizable paging menu on iOS with UIKit or SwiftUI
- you have many or infinitely many pages and want memory-efficient lazy loading
- you want menu items rendered with arbitrary UICollectionView layouts

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple static tab bar with no paging
- you are targeting platforms other than iOS
- you need cross-platform paging UI in Flutter, React Native, or Android
