This free online converter lets you convert code from Swift to Zig in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Swift | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, concise, influenced by Objective-C and scripting languages; uses clear, expressive syntax. | Minimalist, C-like, explicit; prioritizes clarity and control with little syntactic sugar. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports object-oriented, protocol-oriented, and functional programming. | Procedural and imperative; does not support OOP or functional paradigms natively. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and safety features. | Statically typed with explicit types and compile-time evaluation; focuses on safety and predictability. |
| Performance | High performance, optimized for Apple platforms; uses ARC for memory management. | Very high performance, close to C; manual memory management, no hidden control flow. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for iOS/macOS development (e.g., SwiftUI, Foundation). | Smaller ecosystem; can use C libraries easily but lacks extensive native libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, active community; strong support from Apple and open-source contributors. | Growing but smaller community; mostly driven by open-source contributors. |
| Learning curve | Beginner-friendly, especially for those familiar with modern languages; good documentation. | Steeper learning curve due to low-level concepts and manual memory management. |
