## What it is
Swifton is a Ruby on Rails inspired web framework for Swift that runs on Linux and OS X. It provides a router with RESTful resource definitions, controllers, and follows an MVC-style structure built on the S4 (open-swift) server interface.

## Use cases
- build a web app in Swift with Rails-style conventions
- define RESTful resources and routes in Swift on Linux
- run a Swift MVC web server on OS X
- experiment with Rails-like controllers in Swift
- serve a simple CRUD todo app written in Swift

## When to choose
- you want a Rails-inspired MVC structure in Swift for legacy Swift 2/3 projects
- you need a lightweight Swift web framework that runs on Linux and OS X

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained framework with current Swift support
- you are starting a new production web project in Swift
- you need modern Swift tooling, ecosystem packages, or long-term support
