Why most iOS App Developers Prefer Swift to Objective-C?

Swift borrows features from many programming languages including Objective-C. Also, it is fully compatible and interoperable with Objective-C. The Swift code can seamlessly coexist with the Objective-C files within a single project. Thus, programmers can use Swift to write new iOS apps as well as updating the existing apps written in Objective-C. The experienced iOS app developers can further combine Swift and Objective-C to enhance the user experience delivered by the iOS app.

  1. Avail Language Features of Objective-C • Swift borrows features from many programming languages including Objective-C. Also, it is fully compatible and interoperable with Objective-C. The Swift code can seamlessly coexist with the Objective-C files within a single project. Thus, programmers can use Swift to write new iOS apps as well as updating the existing apps written in Objective-C. The experienced iOS app developers can further combine Swift and Objective-C to enhance the user experience delivered by the iOS app. Easy and Quick Learning Curve • Many blogger have stated that Swift is simpler and easier to learn that Objective-C. So the Objective-C programmers are not required to invest additional time and effort to learn and use the new programming language. Apple has launched Swift after adequate research and testing. So it helps programmers to overcome some of the major shortcomings of Objective-C. At the same time, the new programming language enables them to create iOS apps rapidly, while focusing on user experience.

  2. Reduced Coding Time • As a modern programming language, Swift enables users to write, debug and maintain iOS apps without writing lengthy and complex code. It is designed with several modern language features like generics, optionals, tuples and closures. It further takes advantage of advanced code analysis in LLVM to boost the application’s performance. At the same time, it allows developers to create robust apps by accessing the Cocoa Touch frameworks fully. New Syntax Features • Apple has designed Swift as a complete replacement for both C and Objective-C. In addition to being completely object-oriented, Swift also supports types, operators, flow controls and other features of low- level programming languages. At the same time, it also comes with a number of new syntax features that help programmers to write more expressive code, while maintaining consistency throughout the programming language. Each new version of Swift further comes with features to keep the application code concise, maintainable and secure.

  3. A New Error Handling Model • Swift 2.0 came with an advanced error handling model. The new error handling is designed with clear and expressive syntax to catch and throw errors more effectively. It further allows developers to describe error cases clearly by creating their own custom error types. The advanced error handling model works seamlessly with both Cocoa frameworks and NSError. It further enables programmers to customize both error handing techniques and process.
