SwiftUI is Apple's declarative user interface framework designed to build apps across all of Apple's platforms. It allows developers to describe the UI they want, and SwiftUI takes care of the details like dark mode, dynamic type, and tracking changes in the model. This approach enables developers to share more code across different devices and platforms, making it easier to build apps that feel native on Apple's platforms.
Key Features of SwiftUI:
- Declarative Syntax: Focus on describing the UI rather than how to build it.
- Cross-Platform: Build apps for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS.
- Interoperability: Seamlessly integrate with UIKit and AppKit, allowing incremental adoption in existing apps.
- Advanced Features: Includes custom containers, mesh gradients, scrolling customizations, and more.
- Rich Interactivity: Enables apps to take advantage of device-specific features with less code.
