FLAnimatedImage is a performant animated GIF engine for iOS. Plays multiple GIFs simultaneously with a playback speed comparable to desktop browsers. Honors variable frame delays. Behaves gracefully under memory pressure. Eliminates delays or blocking during the first playback loop. Interprets the frame delays of fast GIFs the same way modern browsers do. It's a well-tested component that powers all GIFs in Flipboard. FLAnimatedImage is a well-encapsulated drop-in component. Simply replace your UIImageView instances with instances of FLAnimatedImageView to get animated GIF support. There is no central cache or state to manage. It's flexible to integrate in your custom image loading stack and backwards compatible to iOS 9. It uses ARC and the Apple frameworks QuartzCore, ImageIO, MobileCoreServices, and CoreGraphics.
