What it does

A framework for building APIs, backend servers and websites, in Swift.

No need to learn a language from scratch (or assemble a different team) just for your backend. Vapor is built on Apple’s SwiftNIO so you’ll get to use the language you already know and love. Build efficient APIs in a language you love. Create routes, send and receive JSON and build HTTP servers. Create, sign and verify JSON Web Tokens in Swift. Built on top of Swift Crypto A templating engine written in Swift. Generate HTML for both web apps and emails with a simple syntax anyone can use Built with a non-blocking, event-driven architecture, Vapor allows you to build high-performant, scalable APIs and HTTP servers. Using Swift's Concurrency model, you can write clear, maintainable code…from vapor.codes
