Spots is a cross-platform view controller framework for building component-based user interfaces in Swift. It uses generic view models that can be serialized to and from JSON, enabling backend-driven UI declarations, and handles data source and delegate setup automatically.

Use cases

• build component-based UIs in Swift
• create server-driven or backend-driven user interfaces
• avoid manual UITableView/UICollectionView data source and delegate setup
• mutate list UIs with collection-like convenience APIs
• share UI component code across iOS, macOS, and tvOS
• render UI from JSON payloads

When to choose

• you are building a Swift app on iOS, macOS, or tvOS with a component-driven architecture
• you want the UI structure to be defined or driven by a backend via JSON
• you prefer declarative, collection-style mutation of list-based interfaces

When to avoid

• you need a maintained library - the last release was in 2018 and the project appears inactive
• you are targeting platforms outside the Apple ecosystem
• you need SwiftUI or modern declarative UI support
• your project requires a permissive, clearly defined license (the license is non-standard)
