## What it is
SWXMLHash is a Swift library that provides simple XML parsing by wrapping Apple's XMLParser and converting XML into a hash-like structure of dictionaries and arrays. Its API is inspired by SwiftyJSON, enabling concise, chainable access to XML elements.

## Use cases
- parse xml in swift
- convert xml to dictionary in swift
- read rss or atom feeds in an ios app
- parse xml config files in a macos app
- query xml elements with a swifty syntax
- deserialize xml responses from an api

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, simple XML parsing in Swift without heavy dependencies
- you want a SwiftyJSON-style API for navigating XML
- you need support for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS
- you prefer a wrapper over the verbose XMLParser delegate API

## When to avoid
- you need full-featured XML processing such as XSLT, XPath, or schema validation
- you are working in a non-Swift language
- you need extremely high-performance streaming of very large XML documents
- you need XML writing/serialization, not just parsing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, serialization
- domain: parsers, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: xml, swift, xmlparser-wrapper, swiftyjson-inspired, cocoapods, swift-package-manager, ios, macos
