In plain English

iView is a UI component library for Vue.js 2, a collection of pre-built, styled interface elements like buttons, dropdowns, date pickers, tables, modals, and sliders that you can drop into a Vue-based web application without designing or coding them from scratch. The problem it solves is that building a professional-looking web interface from scratch takes a lot of time. iView provides dozens of ready-made, consistently designed components that follow a clean visual style, so developers can focus on application logic rather than UI details. The components come with straightforward APIs designed to be approachable for developers of all skill levels. It supports Vue.js 2 (and also Vue.js 1 in older versions), server-side rendering (SSR), Nuxt.js, TypeScript, and Electron (for building desktop apps). Most components work in IE9 and above browsers. It was adopted widely in China, with notable users including Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, and Meituan. You would use iView when building a Vue.js 2 web application and you want a polished, production-ready component library to speed up development. It is installed via npm and styled with CSS.
