Lightweight, flexible, modern server framework written in Swift.
Hummingbird is a lightweight, flexible modern web application framework that runs on top of a SwiftNIO based server implementation. It is designed to require the minimum number of dependencies.
It provides a router for directing different endpoints to their handlers, middleware for processing requests before they reach your handlers and processing the responses returned, custom encoding/decoding of requests/responses, TLS and HTTP2.
import Hummingbird
// create router and add a single GET /hello route
let router = Router()
router.get("hello") { request, _ -> String in
return "Hello"
}
// create application using router
let app = Application(
router: router,
configuration: .init(address: .hostname("127.0.0.1", port: 8080))
)
// run hummingbird application
try await app.runService()Hummingbird's core is designed to be minimal, with additional features provided through extensions. Here are some official extensions:
