SwiftData is a framework introduced in iOS 17 that simplifies building your app's model layer and persisting data across app launches. It integrates well with SwiftUI, allowing you to manage your app's data efficiently using modern Swift language features like macros.

In the context of MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture, SwiftData can be used to manage the model layer. You can define your data models using the model macro, which allows you to specify behaviors and relationships. SwiftData also supports custom data stores, enabling you to use different backends like SQLite or JSON files, which can be useful for persisting data in various formats.

For more details on SwiftData and its features, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftData (00:01:01) and Create a custom data store with SwiftData (00:13:00). These sessions cover the adoption of SwiftData, customization of schemas, and the creation of custom data stores, which are relevant to implementing the MVVM pattern in your app.
