For developers to discuss the implementation of the Swift core libraries.
The Swift Core Libraries project provides higher-level functionality than the Swift standard library. These libraries provide powerful tools that developers can depend upon across all the platforms that Swift supports. The Core Libraries have a goal of providing stable and useful features in the following key areas:
- Commonly needed types, including data, URLs, character sets, and specialized collections
- Unit testing
- Networking primitives
- Scheduling and execution of work, including threads, queues, and notifications
- Persistence, including property lists, archives, JSON parsing, and XML parsing
- Support for dates, times, and calendrical calculations
- Abstraction of OS-specific behavior
- Interaction with the file system
- Internationalization, including date and number formatting and language-specific resources
- User preferences
