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
