ApacheExpress
Write native Apache modules using Swift, enabling server-side Swift development within the battle-tested Apache HTTP Server.
What is ApacheExpress?
mod_swift is a project that enables developers to write native modules for the Apache HTTP Server using the Swift programming language. It allows Swift code to run directly within Apache, providing high-performance dynamic content generation, web services, and server extensions without requiring a separate interpreter or proxy. The project includes ApacheExpress, a framework offering an Express-like API for building web applications.
Swift developers looking to build server-side applications or extend Apache's functionality, particularly those interested in integrating Swift with a proven, production-ready web server like Apache.
Developers choose mod_swift because it combines Swift's modern syntax and safety with Apache's battle-tested, modular architecture—offering HTTP/2, TLS, and database pooling out of the box, without reinventing the server stack.
