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()Want details?

Note: This beta version is subject to change (details below).
ObjectBox is available through CocoaPods. To install the pod, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'ObjectBox'Then run
cd /path/to/your/project/folder/ # whatever folder your Podfile is in. pod install Pods/ObjectBox/setup.rb myproject.xcodeproj # whatever your Xcode project is namedafterwards to install the framework and its dependencies, and set up the code generator in your project.
If pod install fails, try updating CocoaPods first:
gem update xcodeproj && gem update cocoapods && pod repo update In the Example directory, you find a notes example app demonstrating ObjectBox's Swift API. The example comes with two apps: one for iOS and one for macOS.
To setup the example, use CocoaPods to acquire the framework:
cd Example/ pod install # if that fails, update CocoaPods (see Installation) Pods/ObjectBox/setup.rb This will generate a NotesExample.xcworkspace that you can launch to try out ObjectBox.
We want ObjectBox to be not only the fastest, but also the most Swift-friendly persistence solution.
To do that, we want your feedback: what do you love? What's amiss? Where do you struggle in everyday app development?
We're looking forward to receiving your comments and requests:
- Take this short questionaire (takes only 1 or 2 minutes)

Thank you!
More relation types, data observers, object browser. This functionality is available at lower layers and has not yet been exposed to Swift.
We're obviously not finished here. Sign up here for future updates on ObjectBox Swift.

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 for ObjectBox's Swift binding can be found in the Source folder.
ObjectBox is a multi platform database supporting multiple languages:
- ObjectBox C API: native speed with zero copy access to FlatBuffer objects; also enables porting ObjectBox to other languages.
- ObjectBox Java: runs on Android, desktop and even servers.
