## What it is
StyleKit is a Swift microframework for styling iOS applications using a simple JSON file. It applies styles via UIAppearance and selector magic, supporting aliases, nested view styling, and custom parsers.

## Use cases
- theme an ios app from a  file
- style uikit views without code changes
- apply different fonts and colors per view hierarchy
- define reusable style aliases like fonts and colors
- swap app themes by loading different  files

## When to choose
- you build UIKit-based iOS apps and want declarative JSON-driven styling
- you want centralized theming with aliases and nested view overrides

## When to avoid
- you use SwiftUI instead of UIKit
- you need actively maintained styling tooling (last release 2018)
- you need dynamic runtime theming beyond JSON parsing

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, templating, theme
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: -
- tags: styling, uikit, -theming, uiappearance, carthage, ios, swift, mobile
