Nuke
A high-performance image loading system for Apple platforms with advanced caching, processing, and SwiftUI support.
What is Nuke?
Nuke is a comprehensive image loading framework for Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS) that fetches, caches, processes, and displays images. It solves the problem of efficiently managing image data in apps by providing a robust, performant system that reduces network usage and improves user experience. The framework is designed to be lean, fast, and highly customizable while maintaining reliability through extensive testing.
iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS developers building apps that require efficient image loading, caching, and processing, such as social media, e-commerce, or content-heavy applications. It is particularly suited for developers who need a flexible, high-performance solution with modern concurrency support (async/await) and SwiftUI integration.
Developers choose Nuke over alternatives for its optimized performance, comprehensive feature set (including memory/disk caching, request coalescing, prefetching, and support for modern formats like HEIF and WebP), and strong focus on developer experience with a lean, customizable architecture. Its extensive automated test suite ensures reliability, and it offers native SwiftUI components and async/await APIs for modern Swift development.
