Kitura Swift Framework

Kitura is a web framework written in Swift (Apple's modern programming language). It provides HTTP routing, middleware, JSON parsing, request/response handling—all the building blocks for REST APIs and web servers. Written by IBM, it's production-ready and open-source. Swift's type system catches many bugs at compile time (no runtime type errors). JSON is automatically parsed into Swift structs using Codable protocol. Routing is type-safe (define endpoint with expected input/output types, Kitura validates automatically).
