SnapKit is a Swift DSL that makes Auto Layout constraint creation simple and expressive on iOS, macOS, and tvOS. It provides a type-safe, chainable syntax for building layout constraints with minimal code.

Use cases

• lay out UIKit views programmatically without Interface Builder
• define Auto Layout constraints with concise readable Swift code
• center and size views relative to their superview
• replace verbose NSLayoutConstraint boilerplate in view controllers
• build responsive iOS layouts in code

When to choose

• you build UIKit views programmatically and want readable constraint code
• you want a mature, widely adopted Swift layout DSL with MIT licensing
• you need type-safe constraints that catch errors at compile time

When to avoid

• you use SwiftUI exclusively and don't need UIKit Auto Layout
• you prefer building all layouts in Interface Builder or storyboards
• your project targets platforms below iOS 14 / macOS 12
