Create Node modules in Swift. Contribute to kabiroberai/node-swift development by creating an account on GitHub.

Versatile: You have access to the full set of Node.js APIs in Swift, from JavaScript object manipulation to event loop scheduling. While WebAssembly is great for performance, it still runs in a virtual machine, which means it can't access native Darwin/Win32/GNU+Linux APIs. NodeSwift runs your Swift code on the bare metal, which should be even faster than WASM, in addition to unlocking access to the operating system's native APIs.
