## What it is
Swift/Win32 is a Swift application framework providing an MVC model for building native Windows applications. It wraps the Win32 APIs with Swift-friendly interfaces, similar to what MFC did for C++.

## Use cases
- build native windows desktop apps in swift
- wrap win32 api in swift
- create mvc applications on windows
- write gui applications using swift on windows
- develop windows software without c++

## When to choose
- you want to write Windows GUI applications in Swift
- you need direct, Swift-friendly access to Win32 APIs
- you prefer an MVC structure for native Windows development

## When to avoid
- you need cross-platform UI that also runs on macOS or Linux
- you want a modern declarative UI framework rather than imperative Win32 wrappers
- your toolchain is older than Swift 5.4 or you cannot use the Windows SDK

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, desktop-framework
- domain: windows, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: windows
- tags: win32, mvc, swift, gui-framework, native-windows
