UIKit Drawing vs SwiftUI
Developers should learn UIKit Drawing when they need to create custom UI elements, such as charts, graphs, custom buttons, or complex animations that aren't available in standard UIKit components meets developers should learn swiftui when building modern apple applications, as it is the recommended framework for new projects due to its declarative syntax, cross-platform compatibility, and seamless integration with swift. Here's our take.
UIKit Drawing
Developers should learn UIKit Drawing when they need to create custom UI elements, such as charts, graphs, custom buttons, or complex animations that aren't available in standard UIKit components
UIKit Drawing
Nice PickDevelopers should learn UIKit Drawing when they need to create custom UI elements, such as charts, graphs, custom buttons, or complex animations that aren't available in standard UIKit components
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for apps requiring high-performance graphics, like games, data visualization tools, or design applications, where precise control over rendering is necessary
- +Related to: core-graphics, core-animation
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
SwiftUI
Developers should learn SwiftUI when building modern Apple applications, as it is the recommended framework for new projects due to its declarative syntax, cross-platform compatibility, and seamless integration with Swift
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for creating adaptive UIs that work across different device sizes and orientations, and for projects requiring rapid prototyping or iterative design changes, thanks to its live preview feature in Xcode
- +Related to: swift, xcode
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use UIKit Drawing if: You want it's particularly useful for apps requiring high-performance graphics, like games, data visualization tools, or design applications, where precise control over rendering is necessary and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use SwiftUI if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for creating adaptive uis that work across different device sizes and orientations, and for projects requiring rapid prototyping or iterative design changes, thanks to its live preview feature in xcode over what UIKit Drawing offers.
