A native Swift API for DuckDB, providing a modern interface for high-performance analytical database operations across Apple, Linux, and Windows.
DuckDB Swift is the native Swift API for DuckDB, a high-performance analytical database system. It provides a modern Swift-based interface that allows developers to perform complex data analysis operations using SQL directly within Swift applications. The package enables cross-platform database functionality across Apple, Linux, and Windows environments.
Swift developers building data-intensive applications across Apple, Linux, or Windows platforms who need embedded analytical database capabilities. This includes iOS/macOS app developers, server-side Swift developers, and cross-platform application developers.
Developers choose DuckDB Swift for its native Swift API design that follows Swift conventions, cross-platform compatibility, and full access to DuckDB's powerful analytical features without compromising on performance or SQL capabilities.
DuckDB Swift is the official native Swift API for DuckDB, a high-performance analytical database system. It enables Swift developers to leverage DuckDB's powerful SQL capabilities directly within their applications across multiple platforms.
DuckDB Swift aims to provide a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use database interface that feels natural to Swift developers while maintaining full access to DuckDB's analytical capabilities.

The API is designed with Swift idioms and conventions, offering a natural development experience as emphasized in the modern Swift API feature.
It works seamlessly across Apple, Linux, and Windows platforms, enabling consistent database functionality in diverse Swift environments.
Provides full access to DuckDB's rich SQL dialect, including subqueries, window functions, and complex types, ideal for analytical processing.
Includes integrated DocC documentation generated in Xcode and interactive playgrounds for easy learning and prototyping with SwiftUI visualizations.
Optimized for read-heavy analytical workloads, so it may underperform for write-intensive or transactional applications compared to OLTP databases.
Relies on the DuckDB C++ library, which can increase app binary size and add complexity in cross-platform builds, especially for mobile apps.
As a newer Swift API, it has a smaller community and fewer third-party tools or integrations compared to established options like GRDB or Core Data.
