StyledTextKit is a Swift library for declaratively building NSAttributedString instances and rendering them quickly, including background-thread text sizing and bitmap caching. It was built for GitHawk to make scrolling large amounts of rich text smooth on iOS.

Use cases

• build attributed strings declaratively in swift
• render text bitmaps off the main thread for smooth scrolling
• measure text size on a background thread without sanitizer warnings
• handle link taps and custom attribute interactions in text views
• support dynamic type by re-rendering strings on content size changes
• replace UILabel and NSAttributedString boilerplate in an iOS app

When to choose

• you need fast, smooth scrolling of large amounts of rich text on iOS
• you want a declarative builder API instead of manual NSAttributedString styling
• you need background-thread text sizing and bitmap caching
• you need custom tap/long-press handling on text attributes like links

When to avoid

• you are not building an iOS/UIKit app
• you need editable rich text input rather than rendering
• you need cross-platform text rendering
• you need an actively maintained library - the latest release was in 2022
