libSwiftPM - SwiftPM as a Library

NOTE: The libSwiftPM API is currently unstable and may change at any time.

SwiftPM has a library based architecture and the top-level library product is called libSwiftPM. Other packages can add SwiftPM as a package dependency and create powerful custom build tools on top of libSwiftPM.

A subset of libSwiftPM that includes only the data model (without SwiftPM's build system) is available as libSwiftPMDataModel. Any one client should depend on one or the other, but not both.

The SwiftPM repository contains an example that demonstrates the use of libSwiftPM in a Swift package. Use the following commands to run the example package:

$ git clone https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-package-manager
$ cd swift-package-manager/Examples/package-info
$ swift run
