SwiftString is a lightweight Swift library providing a comprehensive set of string extension methods like between, camelize, chompLeft, and decodeHTML. It consolidates common string operations into one tested package, distributed via CocoaPods.

Use cases

  • extract substrings between delimiters in Swift
  • camelize or capitalize strings in iOS apps
  • decode HTML entities in Swift strings
  • trim prefixes and suffixes from strings
  • collapse whitespace in user input
  • count substring occurrences in Swift

When to choose

  • you're on an older Swift 2.x project using CocoaPods and need handy string helpers
  • you want a small, MIT-licensed utility instead of writing string boilerplate yourself

When to avoid

  • you're on modern Swift (4+) where the standard library covers many of these operations
  • you need an actively maintained library — the last release was in 2017
  • you need heavy-duty text processing or parsing rather than simple string helpers
