The official MongoDB Swift Driver has reached its 1.0 release, marking a significant milestone in the development of a server-side Swift ecosystem. The driver is now fully supported by MongoDB and is ready for use in production, providing a flexible BSON document type, support for asynchronous programming with SwiftNIO, and compatibility with all MongoDB versions 3.6 and higher. The driver's API is designed to integrate seamlessly with popular asynchronous libraries and frameworks like Vapor, making it an attractive option for developers working on server-side Swift applications. To get started with the driver, developers can include it as a dependency in their application via Swift Package Manager and follow guides provided on the MongoDB documentation website. The team behind the driver plans to continue adding support for the latest MongoDB versions and implementing new features, including a standalone connection pool library based on their specification, which will serve as a reference implementation for other Swift developers.
