SwiftNIO is a cross-platform asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. Low-level protocol implementations are often a collection of ChannelHandlers that implement a protocol but still require the user to have a good understanding of SwiftNIO. Often, low-level protocol implementations will then be wrapped in high-level libraries with a nicer, more user-friendly API.

...Parser for web forms submitted using "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or "multipart/form-data" encodings (including file uploads). Allow implementation of fully asynchronous handlers of incoming HTTP requests. Minimize memory usage with disk streaming of large HTTP request or response bodies. Automatically handle transitions between foreground, background and suspended modes in iOS apps. Full support for both IPv4 and IPv6.

...It is designed for developers who need local HTTP capabilities inside an app instead of a separate external web server. Possible use cases include remote monitoring, desktop-app communication backends, document sharing, and over-the-air access to app files. The project provides asynchronous networking built on GCD and standard sockets. It also supports Bonjour broadcasting, IPv4, IPv6, password protection, SSL/TLS encryption, scalability, and WebDAV. CocoaHTTPServer is especially useful for Objective-C or Cocoa-era applications that need a lightweight, heavily commented, and extensible embedded server component.
