RxDataSources is a Swift library providing reactive UITableView and UICollectionView data sources for RxSwift, with support for sectioned data, animated diff-based updates, and editing. It uses an O(N) diffing algorithm to compute minimal changesets for two-level hierarchical animations.

Use cases

• bind observable data to a UITableView with RxSwift
• animate table view updates when items are inserted, deleted, or moved
• manage multi-section table or collection view data sources reactively
• diff two lists of items and apply minimal UI updates
• support row editing in a reactive table view

When to choose

• you use RxSwift and need sectioned, animated table or collection view data binding
• you want automatic diffing with minimal batch updates instead of full reloads
• you need editing and two-level section/item animations out of the box

When to avoid

• your project does not use RxSwift or reactive programming
• you use SwiftUI or Combine instead of UIKit with RxSwift
• your data contains duplicate items that break the uniqueness assumption for diffing
