## What it is
RETableViewManager is an Objective-C library that provides a data-driven layer for managing UITableView content, including forms and lists, by mapping object classes to custom cell subclasses. It implements UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource protocols and ships with ready-to-use form cell components like text fields, date pickers, and option selectors.

## Use cases
- build iOS forms with text, number, date, and option cells without writing table view delegates
- bind arbitrary model objects to custom UITableViewCell subclasses
- create settings screens and data entry forms in an iOS app
- manage dynamic list content in a UITableView declaratively
- add credit card input cells with validation to a checkout form

## When to choose
- you are maintaining or building a legacy Objective-C iOS app targeting iOS 7+
- you want a quick declarative way to build table-based forms in UIKit
- you need reusable cell mapping between item classes and custom cell subclasses

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new iOS project - the library has not been updated since 2016
- you use SwiftUI or modern UIKit patterns like diffable data sources
- you need Swift-native or actively maintained table view tooling
