Perfect is a complete and powerful toolbox, framework, and application server for Linux, iOS, and macOS (OS X). It provides everything a Swift engineer needs for developing lightweight, maintainable, and scalable apps and other REST services entirely in the Swift programming language for both client-facing and server-side applications.

Perfect includes a suite of tools that will enhance your productivity as you use only one programming language to build your apps: Swift. The global development community’s most dynamic and popular server-side toolbox and framework available today, Perfect is the backbone for many live web applications and apps available on iTunes.

This guide is designed for developers at all levels of experience to get Perfect up and running quickly.

With Perfect, you can write an entire project in one language: Swift - instead of having multiple languages to contend with, like JavaScript (Node.js), Java, Ruby or Python.

Why Perfect?

One Development Language

Use Apple’s open source Swift programming language throughout your entire development process. Whether you’re building iOS and OS X apps, or backend support for web apps, wearable technologies, and games, you don’t need to learn another programming language when you use Perfect on the server-side.
No More Double Vision

Avoid code duplication by using the same code for object models and more. Perfect streamlines your development process so you can use much of the same classes and utilities for both client-facing and server-side development.
Full Debugging Support

Perfect provides full Xcode development and debugging support to help you ensure your code is error-free and optimized to run smoothly. Debug the client and server at the same time with the same tools.

Experienced Developers – Do More, More Easily

However you choose to deploy, you can benefit from the conveniences we add to your Swift Package Manager experience. Select dependencies and versions with a straightforward drag-and-drop interface. Build in macOS and Linux simultaneously to catch compilation issues more quickly. Take advantage of tools designed by developers who understand enterprise-level development.

What software license is Perfect available under?

Perfect is free to use, and it is available under the Apache License, version 2.0 (ASLv2). That means all of the source code, including the code for a new package manager, is available to edit and compile. Any programs or apps built with Swift can be created without attribution.

What is Swift?

Swift is Apple’s general-purpose programming language for iOS, OS X, tvOS, watchOS, and Linux development. It is designed to be more concise and resilient to erroneous code. Originally a proprietary language, it was introduced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in 2014, and it was made open source and available under the Apache License v2 in December 2015.

How is Perfect different from other backend development toolkits?

Perfect utilizes one single programming language, Swift. It removes the need for programmers to code in multiple languages for both client-side and server-side infrastructures. This all-in-one, flexible functionality will save them a significant amount of time and money, and reduce the number of errors and bugs in the programs and applications they create.

How can someone get access to Perfect?

Perfect can be downloaded for free through GitHub.

Who created Perfect?

PerfectlySoft Inc. introduced the Perfect server-side Swift development toolset in November 2015. Headquartered a short drive north of the City of Toronto in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, PerfectlySoft provides developers with high-performance, stable tools, and support to complete their iOS-, OS X-, and Linux-based projects.
