MongoKitten is a native, production-ready MongoDB driver written in pure Swift. It is the fastest MongoDB driver available on any platform, while providing a great Swift API that is a joy to use.
- Production ready
- No complex setup procedure, just import and go
- Extremely performant 🚀
- Pure Swift
- Great API
- Fast with support for new MongoDB and Swift features and versions
- A MongoDB server (local or online) running MongoDB 2.6 or above. (MongoDB 3.2 or 3.4 is recommmended)
- Swift 3.1 or greater
Linux requries the libssl-dev library to be installed.
Install MongoDB for Ubuntu, macOS or any other supported Linux Distro.
Alternatively; make use of a DAAS (Database-as-a-service) like Atlas, MLab, IBM Cloud or any other of the many services.
Add MongoKitten to your Package.swift:
Swift 3: .Package(url: "https://github.com/OpenKitten/MongoKitten.git", majorVersion: 4)
Swift 4: .package(url: "https://github.com/OpenKitten/MongoKitten.git", from: "4.0.0")
For Swift 4 you also need to add MongoKitten to your target's dependencies and optionally ExtendedJSON for people using that:
.target(name: "MyTarget", dependencies: ["MongoKitten"])After a swift package update, you can now use MongoKitten:
import MongoKitten
let myDatabase = try MongoKitten.Database("mongodb://localhost/my_database")
let myCollection = myDatabase["my_collection"]
for document in try myCollection.find("foo" > 42) {
// do something with document
}For more information on how to use MongoKitten, visit the documentation.
Always compile MongoKitten in release mode for production and benchmarks. MongoKitten has proven to be 100-200x faster on release mode compared to debug compilation. Both Xcode and SPM use debug compilation by default.
