How do view types like Text or Image conform to the View protocol in SwiftUI?

Question

There is one big thing that confuses me about view types in SwiftUI:

They don\'t seem to conform to the View protocol, but somehow, they mysterious

Answer 1

SwiftUI view types ARE conforming to the View protocol, otherwise as you mentioned the code wouldn't compile. I found some of these which were available in SwiftUI public extensions:

Image type has an extension which directly conforms to View:

extension Image : View {
}

Circle conforms to Shape, which itself conforms to View:

public struct Circle : Shape {
  ...
}

public protocol Shape : Equatable, Animatable, View {
  ...
}
