## What it is
An Objective-C library that automatically calculates UITableViewCell heights using template auto layout cells, with optional height caching by index path or key. It is a category on UITableView designed to simplify dynamic row height handling in iOS apps.

## Use cases
- calculate uitableview cell heights automatically
- cache row heights in uitableview
- handle dynamic cell heights with auto layout
- avoid repeated height calculations when scrolling a table view
- support self-sizing table cells on ios 7 and 8

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS app with UITableView and dynamic cell heights
- you need height caching to improve table view scroll performance on pre-iOS8 APIs
- you want a drop-in category instead of rewriting cells with self-sizing

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new SwiftUI or modern UIKit project using self-sizing cells
- your project targets only iOS 8+ where UITableView supports estimated self-sizing natively
- you need Swift-native tooling and active community support
