An Apple-maintained Swift package of sequence and collection algorithms such as chunking, combinations, permutations, and random sampling. It extends the Swift standard library with well-tested, source-stable algorithm APIs.
Use cases
- chunk a collection into consecutive subsequences
- generate combinations and permutations of a collection
- take a random sample from a sequence
- cycle over collection elements
- find unique or adjacent-pair operations on sequences
- group array elements by a key path
When to choose
- you need common sequence/collection algorithms beyond the Swift standard library
- you want a source-stable, Apple-maintained package with semver guarantees
- you want Python-itertools-like functionality in Swift
When to avoid
- you need heavy data-structure algorithms like trees or graphs
- you want a general-purpose algorithms textbook library rather than sequence/collection helpers
- your project cannot adopt newer Swift toolchains required by recent versions
