ObjectBox features – more than swift

ObjectBox is an embedded object database for Mobile Apps and IoT. It’s a great CoreData alternative for iOS as well as a perfect SQLite alternative for embedded devices across Mobile and IoT. ObjectBox swift is a unique NoSQL database for iOS, fully ACID-compliant and still 10x faster than any alternative. Our swift APIs make data persistence super easy to implement and enjoyable. On top, ObjectBox solves data synchronization out-of -the-box, taking care of seamlessly syncing data between the phone and the cloud / a server (or other edge devices for that matter). Get in touch to start syncing data today and see for yourself how ObjectBox’ efficiency translates into cost savings.

LUDICROUS SPEED

Increase your app performance with the ObjectBox iOS database. Check out our open source benchmarks, or give it a spin yourself. The ObjectBox iOS database is free to use

NOSQL SWIFT

ObjectBox provides really simple APIs designed to be fun and easy to implement. It is not an ORM. It is build for objects from the ground up, which means no more rows, columns, or SQL.

AUTOMATIC SCHEMA MIGRATIONS

ObjectBox takes care of any new object versions with added, removed and renamed properties for you. Automatic schema migration is designed to bring you piece of mind.

SWIFT QUERIES

With ObjectBox swift database, simply query for objects in swift with checks at compile times; no more typos causing crashes at runtime.

ACID COMPLIANT

ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, Durable) properties and Multiversion Concurrency Control (MVCC) provide you with safe transactions and parallelism

INSTANT UNIT TESTING

With our multi-platform approach, you can run plain unit tests on the desktop (no Robolectric, on instrumentation tests) with a real database in milliseconds.
