## What it is
SkeletonView is a Swift library for iOS that displays animated skeleton placeholder views while content loads, giving users a preview of upcoming UI. It works with any UIView including UITableView and UICollectionView, and supports customizable gradients, shimmer animations, and transitions.

## Use cases
- show skeleton loading placeholders in an iOS app
- add shimmer animation while API data loads
- display redacted placeholder views for UITableView
- prepare users for incoming content with loading animations
- replace spinners with skeleton screens in Swift
- animate collection view placeholders during async requests

## When to choose
- building an iOS or iPadOS app in Swift that loads async content
- you want customizable skeleton/shimmer loading states across any UIView
- you need support for table and collection view placeholders

## When to avoid
- developing for Android, web, or cross-platform frameworks
- your app uses SwiftUI exclusively and you prefer native redaction APIs
- you only need a simple spinner without placeholder previews
