## What it is
A Swift library that monitors network reachability on Apple platforms, replacing Apple's Reachability sample code with a closure-based API. It supports iOS, macOS, and tvOS and is distributed via CocoaPods, Carthage, or manual file inclusion.

## Use cases
- detect when the device goes online or offline
- show a no-internet banner in an iOS app
- wait for network connectivity before retrying API calls
- monitor wifi vs cellular connection changes
- check if a specific host is reachable

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, closure-based reachability monitor in Swift
- you want a well-known drop-in replacement for Apple's Reachability sample
- you support older iOS/macOS/tvOS versions

## When to avoid
- you need NWPathMonitor-based modern APIs and can use Apple's Network framework directly
- your project targets only recent OS versions where NWPathMonitor suffices
- you need detailed connection quality metrics, not just reachability
