## What it is
SWRevealViewController is an Objective-C UIViewController subclass that implements a reveal/drawer side-menu pattern for iOS apps, inspired by the Facebook and Wunderlist apps. It manages front, rear (left/right) view controllers with animated transitions and storyboard segue support.

## Use cases
- add a Facebook-style slide-out side menu to an iOS app
- implement a hamburger navigation drawer in Swift or Objective-C
- reveal a rear view controller behind a front controller with pan gestures
- push new front view controllers with animation from a storyboard
- support left and right side panels in an iOS navigation layout

## When to choose
- building an iOS app that needs a classic drawer/side-menu navigation pattern
- you want a mature, battle-tested Objective-C component with storyboard support
- you need customizable reveal animations and gesture-driven side panels

## When to avoid
- starting a new project where modern alternatives like SwiftUI drawer implementations are preferred
- you need cross-platform (Android/web) navigation
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies with standard licensing
