## What it is
XLForm is an Objective-C library for iOS that lets developers build dynamic table-view forms from declarative form definitions, with runtime updates, validation, and multivalued sections. It is no longer receiving new features; the same team recommends its Swift successor Eureka.

## Use cases
- build settings or onboarding forms in an iOS app
- create dynamic table-view forms with runtime row visibility rules
- validate form input declaratively on iOS
- add multivalued sections with add, delete, and reorder rows
- embed inline date or picker selectors in a form
- create forms compatible with both Swift and Objective-C codebases

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS app already using XLForm
- you need battle-tested dynamic form building on iOS with Obj-C compatibility
- you only need critical bug fixes and no new features

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Swift project - use Eureka instead
- you need actively developed features or modern SwiftUI forms
- you target platforms other than iOS
