What is Vapor

Vapor is a Swift-based HTTP web framework. It allows you to program backend applications, Web App APIs and HTTP servers in Swift. The Swift language is modern, powerful and secure, and provides various benefits over more traditional server languages.

Among the main advantages of using Vapor in developing backend web applications:

• Speed

Vapor is one of the fastest backend web frameworks.Its speed comes from the fact that it is both compiled and has modern syntax and language features.

• Safety

Swift has been specifically deisgned to be safer than C-based languages. variables are initialized before use, arrays and integers are checked for overflow, and memory is automatically managed.

• Cross-platform

Swift is cross platform, you can use it not only on MacOs but also on Windows and Linux. This makes the language particularly ideal for mobile developers.

• Intuitive

Swift is a intuitive and user-friendly programming language. From concise syntax to inferred type, code is made simpler.
