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
