Perfect, also known as Server-Side Swift,[3][4][5] is an open-source application server, web and server framework written in the Swift programming language. It provides tools for developing web and other REST services in Swift, together with a web server and datasource connectors, providing default structures for developers working with databases, web services, and web pages. Its primary focus is to make mobile development easier by using the Swift language on both the mobile device and server side,[2][6][7] where it competes with other server-side development tools such as Node.js and Python.[8]

History

Perfect was released on November 23, 2015, just before the Swift language became open source,[9] and draws much of of its history from a programming language previously part of the Apple product line called Lasso.[1][2]
