UTIKit
A Swift wrapper for Uniform Type Identifiers (UTI) providing conversion between file extensions, MIME types, and type checking.
What is UTIKit?
UTIKit is a Swift library that provides a wrapper around Apple's Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) system. It simplifies working with file types by offering type-safe conversions between UTIs, filename extensions, MIME types, and other identifiers, along with equality and conformance checking.
iOS and macOS developers who need to handle file types, MIME types, or pasteboard types in their Swift applications, particularly those building cross-platform apps or utilities that process files.
Developers choose UTIKit because it provides a clean, Swift-native API for the UTI system, eliminating the need to directly interact with lower-level Core Foundation APIs and reducing boilerplate code for common file type operations.
Overview
UTIKit is an UTI (Uniform Type Identifier) wrapper for Swift.
