# AXSwift

[![Version](https://cocoapod-badges.herokuapp.com/v/AXSwift/badge.svg)](https://cocoapods.org/pods/AXSwift)
[![Carthage compatible](https://img.shields.io/badge/Carthage-compatible-4BC51D.svg?style=flat)](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage)

AXSwift is a Swift wrapper for macOS's C-based accessibility client APIs. Working with these APIs is
error-prone and a huge pain, so AXSwift makes everything easier:

- Modern API that's 100% Swift
- Explicit error handling
- Complete coverage of the underlying C API
- Better documentation than Apple's, which is pretty poor

This framework is intended as a basic wrapper, and doesn't keep any state or do any "magic".
That's up to you!

## Using AXSwift

### SPM
In your Package.swift:
```
.package(url: "https://github.com/tmandry/AXSwift", from: "0.3.0"),
```

### Carthage
In your Cartfile:
```
github "tmandry/AXSwift" ~> 0.3
```

### CocoaPods
In your Podfile:
```
pod 'AXSwift', '~> 0.3'
```

See the source of [AXSwiftExample](https://github.com/tmandry/AXSwift/blob/master/AXSwiftExample/AppDelegate.swift)
and [AXSwiftObserverExample](https://github.com/tmandry/AXSwift/blob/master/AXSwiftObserverExample/AppDelegate.swift)
for an example of the API.
