Do you ♥️ using ObjectBox?

We want to hear about your app! It will - literally - take just a minute, but help us a lot. Thank you!​ 🙏​

ObjectBox Swift

ObjectBox is a superfast, light-weight object persistence framework. This Swift API seamlessly persists objects on-device for iOS and macOS.

let santa = Person(firstName: "Santa", lastName: "Claus")
try personBox.put(santa)

let query: Query<Person> = personBox.query {
    return (Person.firstName.contains("Santa") || Person.age > 100)
           && Person.lastName.isEqual(to: "Claus") 
}.build()
let oldClauses = query.find()

Background: code generation

ObjectBox Swift generates code at build time for optimal performance at runtime by avoiding reflection etc. This is automatically done for you and should be transparent. Internally, we use a fork of Sourcery for this.

Source code

Source code for ObjectBox's Swift binding can be found in the Source folder.

Other languages/bindings

ObjectBox is a multi platform database supporting multiple languages:

• ObjectBox Java: runs on Android, desktop and servers.
• ObjectBox Go: great for data-driven tools and server applications.
• ObjectBox C: native speed with zero copy access to FlatBuffer objects; also enables porting ObjectBox to other languages.
• ObjectBox Dart/Flutter: build cross-platform apps using Flutter (beta version)
