Splash is a fast, lightweight Swift syntax highlighter that can be used as a Swift Package Manager library or via built-in command line tools. It generates syntax-highlighted HTML for blog posts, images from Swift code strings, and supports integration with static site generators like Publish and Jekyll.

Use cases

  • highlight swift code in blog posts
  • generate html from swift code snippets
  • convert swift code to a syntax highlighted image
  • add swift syntax highlighting to a static site generator
  • build custom developer tools that render swift code
  • style code samples with custom css classes

When to choose

  • you need to highlight Swift code specifically in HTML, images, or custom tools
  • you use Publish or Jekyll and want integrated Swift highlighting
  • you want a lightweight, fast highlighter without hardcoded styling

When to avoid

  • you need syntax highlighting for languages other than Swift
  • you need a JavaScript-based client-side highlighter for a dynamic website
  • you need highlighting of very recent Swift syntax versions
