# ObjectBox Swift Database - swiftly persist objects and on-device vector database for iOS & macOS
Powerful & superfast database for Swift that's also easy to use. Persist Swift objects quickly and reliably on-device on iOS and macOS.
## Demo code
```swift
// objectbox: entity
class Person {
var id: Id = 0
var firstName: String = ""
var lastName: String = ""
init() {}
init(id: Id = 0, firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.id = id
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
}
let store = try Store(directoryPath: "person-db")
let box = store.box(for: Person.self)
var person = Person(firstName: "Joe", lastName: "Green")
let id = try box.put(person) // Create
person = try box.get(id)! // Read
person.lastName = "Black"
try box.put(person) // Update
try box.remove(person.id) // Delete
let query = try box.query { // Query
Person.firstName == "Joe"
&& Person.lastName.startsWith("B")
}.build()
let people: [Person] = try query.find()
```

## Why use ObjectBox for Swift data persistence?
Simple but powerful; frugal but fast: The ObjectBox NoSQL database offers an intuitive Swift API that's easy to pick up, fun to work with, and incredibly fast, making it sustainable in many ways. Its frugal recource use (CPU, memory, battery / power) makes ObjectBox an ideal and sustainable choice for iOS apps. So why not give it a try right away? Check out the [installation section below](#add-objectbox-to-your-project). You can also star this repository for later 🌟
### Features
🧠 **Artificial Intelligence** - superfast [on-device vector search](https://docs.objectbox.io/on-device-ann-vector-search).\
🏁 **High performance** on restricted devices, like IoT gateways, micro controllers, ECUs etc.\
💚 **Resourceful** with minimal CPU, power and Memory usage for maximum flexibility and sustainability\
🔗 **Relations:** object links / relationships are built-in\
💻 **Multiplatform:** Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, macOS
🌱 **Scalable:** handling millions of objects resource-efficiently with ease\
💐 **Queries:** filter data as needed, even across relations\
🦮 **Statically typed:** compile time checks & optimizations\
📃 **Automatic schema migrations:** no update scripts needed
**And much more than just data persistence**\
👥 **[ObjectBox Sync](https://objectbox.io/sync/):** keeps data in sync between devices and servers\
🕒 **[ObjectBox TS](https://objectbox.io/time-series-database/):** time series extension for time based data
## Add ObjectBox to your project
ObjectBox is available as a
- [CocoaPods](https://swift.objectbox.io/install#cocoapods) pod
- [Swift Package](https://swift.objectbox.io/install#swift-package)
See [Install ObjectBox Swift](https://swift.objectbox.io/install) for details and alternative setup options.
## Example
In the [Example](Example/) directory, you'll find a "Notes" example app demonstrating ObjectBox's Swift API.
The example comes with two apps: one for iOS and one for macOS. The iOS example is a full GUI application, whereas the macOS example runs a few operations and then exits.

## Changelog
For notable and important changes in new releases, read the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md).
## Development
The source code for ObjectBox's Swift binding can be found [in the Source folder](Source/README.md) of this repository.
## Background: code generation
ObjectBox Swift Database uses generated code for optimal performance at runtime by avoiding reflection etc.
It uses [a fork of Sourcery](https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-swift-generator) for this.
