Perfect is a web server and toolkit for developers using the Swift programming language to build applications and other REST services.
It lets developers build using only Swift to program both the client-facing and server-side of their projects.
Perfect operates using either a standalone HTTP server or through FastCGI, but it is flexible enough to be attached to the server of your choice, or to a custom server. It provides a system for loading Swift-based modules at startup, and for interfacing those modules with its request/response objects or to the built-in mustache template processing system.
Perfect runs on a high-performance, completely asynchronous networking engine with the goal of providing a scalable option for internet services. It supports SSL out-of-the box, and a suite of tools commonly required by internet servers such as WebSockets and iOS push notifications.
