Apple's Swift rewrite of its Foundation framework will be open source

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/programming

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Moshi

    A modern JSON library for Kotlin and Java.

    Best practice in Android would be Moshi, which is written by many of the same authors as Gson but is still actively maintained. It's more or less a breaking upgrade from Gson.

  • kotlinx.serialization

    Kotlin multiplatform / multi-format serialization

    Kotlin Serialization is also a newer option, but doesn't have as much traction.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • swift-corelibs-foundation

    The Foundation Project, providing core utilities, internationalization, and OS independence

    The (shitty) old Linux implementation has been on GitHub for years.

  • WPF

    WPF is a .NET Core UI framework for building Windows desktop applications.

    WPF is not abandoned (the last commit to its repo was today).
