Introduction to Hummingbird 2
summary
Hummingbird 2 is a Swift 6 web framework that drops most EventLoopFuture APIs and uses Swift HTTP Types plus Swift Service Lifecycle for cancellation and graceful shutdown. It streams with AsyncSequence and claims up to 8x less code for streaming patterns, offers a core HTTP/1 server with optional HTTP/2, WebSockets, Lambda and gRPC add-ons, and an OpenAPI generator. Binary size is roughly halved versus previous setups and an examples repo already contains 20+ projects.
