The official source for 'The Swift Programming Language' book, written in Markdown and published on docs.swift.org using Swift-DocC. It serves as the canonical reference and learning resource for the Swift programming language.

Use cases

• learn the Swift programming language
• official Swift language reference documentation
• fix a typo in the Swift book
• read Swift documentation offline
• contribute to Swift language docs
• build the Swift book locally with DocC

When to choose

• you want the authoritative, up-to-date Swift language reference
• you are learning Swift from scratch
• you want to contribute corrections or improvements to official Swift docs

When to avoid

• you need a tutorial-style course with exercises rather than a reference book
• you want documentation for Swift Package Manager or other Swift tools (separate repos)
• you need API documentation for specific Swift libraries
