In Swift, the appropriate data type for representing nanoseconds is typically Int. Swift's Int type is a signed integer that can store a wide range of values, which is suitable for representing time intervals in nanoseconds. If you are working with APIs or libraries that specifically require a certain type for time intervals, you should follow their documentation. However, for general purposes, Int is commonly used for such precise time measurements in Swift.
