## What it is
A Swift library providing a fluent, type-safe API for building NSAttributedString instances on Apple platforms. It wraps all Cocoa/Cocoa Touch text attributes in Swift enums and chainable string extensions.

## Use cases
- create attributed strings in swift
- style text with colors and fonts in ios
- combine attributed strings with operators
- replace verbose nsattributedstring code
- apply underline and strikethrough styles to text
- use swift ranges instead of nsrange for text attributes

## When to choose
- building ios, macos, watchos, or tvos apps with styled text
- you want a swifty, chainable alternative to NSAttributedString APIs
- you need support for every Cocoa text attribute with type safety

## When to avoid
- targeting non-Apple platforms like Android or Linux
- your project cannot use Swift 4.2 or later
- you only need trivial single-attribute text styling

## Facets
