A 100% API-compatible open-source replacement of UICollectionView for iOS 4.3+, written in Objective-C. It lets developers use UICollectionView-style APIs on older iOS versions, with automatic PS-prefixed classes that fall back to native UICollectionView on iOS 6+.
Use cases
- support collection views on iOS 4.3 or 5.x
- use UICollectionView API on older iOS versions
- backport UICollectionView to legacy apps
- study how UICollectionView works internally
- interoperate between UI and PST collection view classes
When to choose
- you must support iOS versions older than 6.0 and want collection views
- you want a drop-in, API-compatible UICollectionView replacement for legacy codebases
When to avoid
- you target iOS 6 or later, where native UICollectionView exists
- you need actively maintained or modern features
- you need perfect fidelity for advanced or custom layouts
