Hydra is a lightweight, full-featured Promises library for Swift, inspired by JavaScript's A+ promise spec and ES8 async/await. It lets developers write asynchronous code in a synchronous style with operators like all, any, retry, timeout, map, and zip.
Use cases
- write async code in Swift without callback nesting
- chain multiple asynchronous operations with promises
- retry failed async operations with backoff
- run several async tasks in parallel and wait for all
- add timeouts to asynchronous operations
- cancel in-flight async operations
When to choose
- you're on Swift 3.x/4.x and need promise-based concurrency
- you want async/await-style syntax before Swift's native support
- you need rich promise combinators like all, any, zip, retry
When to avoid
- you're on modern Swift with built-in async/await and structured concurrency
- you need an actively maintained library (last release 2021)
- your project targets only Apple platforms with Combine available
