GRDB.swift is a Swift toolkit for working with SQLite databases, focused on application development. It provides record persistence, type-safe SQL generation, database observation, migrations, and robust concurrency support.

Use cases

• persist app data in sqlite on ios
• observe database changes reactively in swift
• run database migrations as app versions ship
• query sqlite without writing raw sql
• use sqlite concurrently from multiple threads
• map swift structs to database records

When to choose

• you are building an iOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS app that needs local persistence
• you want reactive database observation with concurrent reads and writes
• you need schema migrations for evolving app data
• you want both raw SQL access and higher-level record APIs

When to avoid

• your app targets Android or non-Apple platforms
• you need a client-server database like PostgreSQL or MySQL
• you prefer Core Data or SwiftData ecosystem integration
