What is the difference between Carthage and CocoaPods?

The question is about Carthage

Answer:

The difference between Carthage and CocoaPods lies in their approach to dependency management for iOS and macOS projects. Carthage is a lightweight, decentralized tool to build frameworks. It requires from the developers to integrate it by hand into Xcode projects. That gives full control and minimal interference with project structure.
CocoaPods is a centralized dependency manager, which automatizes the integration of libraries by editing Xcode project files and making a workspace. The usage is easier for inexperienced users, at the same time less flexible compared to Carthage. Developers choose Carthage for simplicity and control, CocoaPods is chosen because it is easy to work with and automates much.
