Higher performance than UILabel.

Appetize’s Demo

Label

Overview

This is a better performance than UILabel and can be used like a standard UI component.
Also, Easier to use than UILabel.

Since UIView is inherited instead of UILabel, there is little wasteful processing.
It uses the function of TextKit to draw characters.

However, please note that content layout is not done automatically.
If want to automatically fix the height of the content, set usesIntrinsicContentSize to true.

Customization is easy.

Customize

Left tab is customizable label. The center tab AttributedLabel So fast. Right tab is UILabel So slow. Fast more than 10 times from 5 times.
