MondrianLayout
A DSL-based layout builder for iOS AutoLayout that enables rapid UI construction in code, faster than Interface Builder.
What is MondrianLayout?
MondrianLayout is a Swift library that provides a declarative Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for building AutoLayout constraints in iOS applications. It enables developers to describe UI layouts using a SwiftUI-like syntax directly in code, offering a faster and more maintainable alternative to Interface Builder (XIBs and Storyboards). The library solves the problem of verbose and error-prone manual constraint code by making layout declarations intuitive and ergonomic.
iOS developers building UIKit-based applications who want to create UI layouts programmatically with AutoLayout but find the native API or Interface Builder cumbersome. It's particularly useful for teams prioritizing code-based UI, maintainability, and rapid iteration.
Developers choose MondrianLayout because it combines the full power of AutoLayout with a modern, declarative API that significantly reduces boilerplate. Its dual API approach—offering both a structured DSL for common layouts and a classical API for complex cases—provides flexibility without sacrificing ease of use, making it a practical alternative to SwiftUI for existing UIKit projects.
