- Swift Ecosystem Steering Group announces formation of the Networking workgroup to advance networking libraries, protocols, and APIs in the Swift ecosystem.
- Aims to create a unified networking stack with layered architecture, common protocol implementations, and ergonomic APIs for cross-platform use.
- Focuses on interoperability through currency types like IP addresses and HTTP requests, and evolving HTTP APIs with structured concurrency.
- Will guide shared protocol implementations such as TLS, HTTP versions, QUIC, and WebSockets to prevent duplication across libraries.
- Workgroup joins other Swift groups like Android, Windows, and Build and Packaging; membership is open with biweekly meetings starting soon.
