SwiftUI is a framework introduced by Apple to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms. It is designed to be easy to learn and use, while also being powerful enough to create complex and custom user interfaces. Here are some key aspects of how SwiftUI works:

  1. Declarative Syntax: SwiftUI uses a declarative syntax, meaning you describe what you want the UI to look like, and SwiftUI takes care of rendering it. This approach simplifies UI development by focusing on the "what" rather than the "how."

  2. Compositional Views: Views in SwiftUI are compositional, allowing you to build complex interfaces by combining smaller, reusable components. This modular approach helps in organizing code efficiently without compromising performance.

  3. State-Driven: SwiftUI views are state-driven, meaning they automatically update when the underlying data changes. This eliminates the need for manual UI updates and reduces bugs related to UI state management.

  4. Cross-Platform: SwiftUI provides a common set of components that work across all Apple platforms, with specialized APIs for each platform to accommodate their unique design considerations.

  5. Integration with Other Frameworks: SwiftUI can be integrated incrementally into existing apps, allowing developers to use it alongside other frameworks like UIKit or AppKit.

  6. Adaptivity and Accessibility: SwiftUI automatically adapts to different environments, such as dark mode and dynamic type, and supports accessibility features, making it easier to create inclusive apps.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the SwiftUI essentials session from WWDC 2024, which covers the fundamentals of views and other capabilities of SwiftUI.
