## What it is
Former is a fully customizable Swift library for easily building UITableView-based forms on iOS. It provides composable row, section, and view components with configuration and event callbacks without needing to subclass cells or view controllers.

## Use cases
- build settings screens in an iOS app
- create customizable forms backed by UITableView in Swift
- make a profile editing screen with input rows
- build a survey or questionnaire UI in iOS
- create dynamic form sections without subclassing UITableViewCells

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app in Swift with table-view-based forms
- you want highly customizable form rows and sections with minimal boilerplate
- you need CocoaPods or Carthage integration for a UIKit form library

## When to avoid
- you are building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit
- you need a maintained library with recent updates and Swift 5.x concurrency support
- your forms require complex validation or multi-platform support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: uitableview, forms, swift, cocoapods, carthage, ios, mobile
