SwiftPostgresClient is a pure Swift, asynchronous PostgreSQL client created from scratch to make the most out of the available modern concurrency features in Swift.
Compared to other similar clients, this one does not depend on libpq or SwiftNIO. Nor does it need bridging into C or Objective-C.
Instead, SwiftPostgresClient utilizes a minimalistic approach. As such, developers can enjoy working in a clean, native-first PostgreSQL interface.
Key Features
- Fully concurrent, asynchronous API
- Doesn’t require libpq
- Safe conversion between Postgres and Swift types
- SSL/TLS support
- Channel binding support
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Queries can execute off the main thread, essential in modern frameworks like SwiftUI. | The library lacks extensive documentation and usage examples. |
| Type conversion is explicit and robust. Conversion errors are signaled, not masked. | |
| Encrypts the connection between SwiftPostgresClient and the Postgres server. |
Pricing & Plans
Just like other similar tools, this one is also open-source and has no costs. You are free to use SwiftPostgresClient for personal or commercial projects.
Conclusion
As far as PostgreSQL integration solutions go, SwiftProgresClient is one of the standout candidates.
It embraces Swift’s contemporary concurrency model and avoids external C libraries. Less clutter gives developers more control and flexibility when working in a clear and safe environment.
