A powerful and easy-to-use vector graphics Swift library with SVG support for iOS and macOS.
Macaw is a Swift library for creating and manipulating vector graphics in iOS and macOS applications. It provides SVG support, animations, and a scene graph API to simplify the integration of complex illustrations and interactive visuals from design tools into native apps. The library helps developers reduce time spent converting designs into resizable, animated UI components.
iOS and macOS developers who need to incorporate scalable vector graphics, complex animations, or interactive illustrations into their applications, particularly those working from SVG design assets.
Developers choose Macaw for its powerful yet easy-to-use API that bridges design and development, offering robust SVG rendering, smooth animations, and event handling in a native Swift framework, reducing manual graphic implementation effort.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Directly renders and manipulates SVG files from design tools, as shown in the README with examples like embedding SVG in iOS apps for scalable graphics.
Uses a high-level scene graph API to simplify management of complex illustrations, reducing development time for vector-based UIs.
Supports smooth animations including morphing and content-based transitions, demonstrated in the demo GIFs and documented in the wiki.
Handles touch and interaction events on graphical elements, enabling interactive visual components as highlighted in the features list.
The project is officially deprecated with no new features or bug fixes, only minimal updates for future Xcode compatibility, as stated in the README header.
Documentation is limited to a few wiki guides, making it challenging to learn advanced features or troubleshoot issues effectively.
Users are directed to alternatives like SVGView or SwiftUI, leading to a fragmented community and lack of cohesive support for ongoing development.
