Txt View Picker

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Content · Sub-category: content-misc

lang:swift

Choose between SwiftUI Text/TextField/TextEditor, UIKit UITextView, and AppKit NSTextView. Capability comparison, tradeoffs, and decision criteria for read-only display vs single-line input vs multi-line editing vs rich attributed editing vs TextKit access. Use when the user asks "which text view should I use," "should I use TextField or TextEditor," "do I need UITextView for this," or describes a feature without naming a view class. Do NOT use for wrapping UITextView in SwiftUI — see txt-wrap-textview. Do NOT use for SwiftUI/TextKit attribute compatibility rules — see txt-swiftui-interop. Do NOT use for the iOS 26 SwiftUI TextEditor rich-text APIs themselves — see txt-swiftui-texteditor.
