Swift macros are a powerful feature introduced to enhance the Swift programming language. They act as compiler plugins, taking the syntax tree as input and returning transformed code as output. This allows developers to reduce repetitive boilerplate code and create more expressive APIs.
For a deeper dive into Swift macros, you can watch the session titled "Expand on Swift macros" mentioned in the A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design session.
