We're excited to announce the first beta release of gRPC Swift v2 which is a major update to our gRPC implementation for Swift. This new version has been designed to enhance usability, improve performance, and better align with the evolving Swift ecosystem.
What's new in gRPC Swift v2?
- Native Swift Concurrency Support: The library has been written as a concurrency-first implementation and takes full advantage of structured concurrency. This makes it easier than ever to build robust gRPC clients and servers.
- Flexible APIs: We've aimed to make the APIs easy to use for newcomers but flexible enough to support the needs of expert users with appropriate extension points.
- Pluggable Transports: The transport layer is pluggable, allowing you to choose the transport implementation best suited to your needs.
Getting started
The documentation and tutorials for gRPC Swift v2 are available on the Swift Package Index. You'll also find standalone examples in the grpc-swift repository.
If you're new to gRPC then check out the Hello World tutorial. If you're already familiar with gRPC then check out the Route Guide tutorial.
