UIWebView inside UITableViewCell, is it worth it?

Question

iOS

I want to make a forum reader on iOS. There was a question about displaying posts inside table cells. How to properly display this kind of content(html) inside cells. And how will it beat performance? 20 posts per page.

Answer 1

The solution is terrible, firstly, UIWebView is a rather heavy thing in terms of UI, this is a blow to performance, and secondly, since your cells will be reused, then when you scroll, you will need to cancel / resume requests to the web resource, this is writing additional logic that complicates the code. Either you have one webview to view the forum, or you are trying to somehow parse the forum and pull out data from there (not a very good solution).
