Render (CoreRender) is a SwiftUI-inspired declarative UI framework built on top of UIKit, compatible with iOS 10+ and Objective-C. It uses a virtual DOM with diffing and reconciliation, Yoga flexbox layout, and an Elm-like coordinator pattern for state management.

Use cases

• build declarative iOS UIs with UIKit
• use SwiftUI-style API on iOS 10
• wrap any UIView in a declarative component
• implement unidirectional data flow in iOS apps
• recycle and reuse fine-grained UI components
• use flexbox layout in native iOS views

When to choose

• you need declarative UI but must support iOS versions before SwiftUI
• you want SwiftUI-like ergonomics while staying on UIKit
• your codebase mixes Objective-C and Swift

When to avoid

• you can target iOS 13+ and use SwiftUI directly
• you need a framework with active development and recent releases
• you need a permissively licensed dependency with clear licensing terms
