About:
SwiftProtobuf is the official Apple plugin and runtime library for Google's Protocol Buffers in Swift. It generates type-safe Swift code from .proto files, enabling efficient binary serialization and deserialization. This allows Swift applications to communicate with other services using the high-performance Protobuf format.
Key Features:
  • Idiomatic Swift code generation
  • High-performance binary serialization
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Integration with Swift Package Manager
Use Cases:
  • Implementing gRPC services in Swift
  • Efficient data storage and network transmission
  • Interoperating with existing Protobuf-based APIs
Alternatives:
  • JSON serialization – More human-readable but less performant and verbose than Protobuf
