A Swift library that generates link previews from URLs by extracting titles, relevant text, and images. It supports iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS and is distributed via CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager.
Use cases
- generate link previews in a chat app
- extract title and images from a URL in Swift
- show website preview cards when users paste links
- scrape metadata from URLs on iOS
- get relevant text and thumbnails from web pages
When to choose
- building an Apple-platform app in Swift that needs URL preview metadata
- you want a lightweight regex-based crawler without server dependencies
- you need support for older iOS/macOS/tvOS/watchOS versions
When to avoid
- starting a new project, since the repo is archived and unmaintained
- you need robust metadata extraction that AI-based services now handle better
- your target platform is not Apple's ecosystem
