SwiftData is a framework introduced by Apple that simplifies building your app's model layer and persisting it across app launches. It provides features like schema modeling, migration, graph management, and synchronization with CloudKit. For application settings, SwiftData can be particularly useful due to its ability to handle data persistence and schema management efficiently.
To use SwiftData for application settings, you can define your settings as models using SwiftData's model macro. This allows you to persist settings data across app launches and even synchronize it with other devices using CloudKit. You can also customize your data store to use different backends, such as JSON files or SQLite, which can be beneficial for storing application settings in a format that suits your app's needs.
For more detailed information on adopting SwiftData and customizing data stores, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftData (01:01) and Create a custom data store with SwiftData (04:50).
