## What it is
SideMenu is a Swift library providing a customizable side/slide menu control for iOS apps. It can be implemented entirely in storyboards without code and offers eight animation styles including parallax effects.

## Use cases
- add a slide-out navigation menu to an iOS app
- implement a hamburger menu without writing code
- create side menus on both left and right edges
- add parallax animation to a menu transition
- set up a menu in storyboard in minutes

## When to choose
- you need a polished iOS side menu with minimal setup
- you want storyboard-only, code-less configuration
- you need multiple animation styles and deep customization
- you want swipeable menus on both sides of the screen

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or cross-platform frameworks
- you need a library under active development - maintenance help is being sought
- you want a SwiftUI-native menu implementation
- you need a top drawer or non-standard menu placement
