Overview

This part of the documentation describes our solutions to simplify working with Privmx Endpoint C++ library inside Swift projects.

Libraries​

Privmx Endpoint Swift Extra​

PrivMX Endpoint Swift Extra is the basic recommended library for using the Platform in most cases. It contains all the logic that makes using our libraries simple and secure. It can be used on any Apple platform (iOS/macOS/simulators).

This library implements:

  • Enums and static fields to reduce errors while using the methods.
  • PrivmxEndpoint for managing connection and registering callbacks on any events.
  • PrivmxEndpointContainer for managing global session with implemented event loop.
  • Classes to simplify reading/writing to files using byte arrays and FileHandles.

Go to Reference for a detailed description of each class.

Privmx Endpoint Swift​

PrivMX Endpoint Swift is the minimal wrapper library, crucial for the Platform's functioning. It declares native functions in Swift using C++ interoperability, so it's crucial to turn it on in compiler Settings.

This library implements models, exception catching, and the following modules:

  • CryptoApi - Cryptographic methods used to encrypt/decrypt and sign your data or generate keys to work with Privmx Bridge.
  • Connection - Methods for managing connection with Privmx Bridge.
  • ThreadApi - Methods for managing Threads and sending/reading messages.
  • StoreApi - Methods for managing Stores and sending/reading files.
  • InboxApi - Methods for managing Inboxes and entries.
