YapDatabase is a collection/key/value store built atop SQLite for Swift and Objective-C developers, targeting Apple platforms. It features a plugin architecture with built-in caching, metadata, views, secondary indexing, and full-text search.

Use cases

  • store key-value data locally in an iOS app
  • persist objects with metadata on macOS
  • add full-text search to a mobile app database
  • query stored objects with secondary indexes
  • build auto-updating views for table views
  • read from a database concurrently while writing on a background thread

When to choose

  • you're building an iOS/macOS/tvOS/watchOS app in Swift or Objective-C needing a flexible local store
  • you want built-in caching, views, and FTS without writing SQL
  • you need concurrent reads and writes without blocking the main thread

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform (non-Apple) database
  • you prefer a relational ORM or Core Data-style stack
  • you need a project with frequent recent releases and active maintenance
