## What it is
SideMenuController is a custom container view controller written in Swift for iOS that displays main content in a center panel and secondary content (menu, navigation) in a side panel. It supports left/right positioning, over/under layouts, and fully customizable transition animations.

## Use cases
- add a hamburger side menu to an iOS app
- implement a navigation drawer in Swift
- slide-out menu with custom transition animations
- side panel menu on left or right of main content
- customizable status bar behavior with side menu
- swipe-triggered side menu container view controller

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, customizable side menu container in Swift
- you want control over menu positioning (left/right, over/under) and transitions
- you prefer a small focused library over a full UI framework

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with recent updates (last release 2021)
- you target SwiftUI rather than UIKit container view controllers
- you need a full-featured navigation framework beyond side menus
