            <title>[DOCS-14845] Clarify what is the MongoDB Swift Driver used for</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-14845</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;In the MongoDB Swift Driver page (&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/swift/)&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/swift/)&lt;/a&gt;&#160;there&apos;s no mention why this thing exists, or when we should use this instead of the Realm Swift iOS SDK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is mentioned, though, here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/sdk/ios/&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/sdk/ios/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;&#160;Are you looking for information about using Swift with MongoDB in a backend app, command-line utility, or running on macOS or Linux? See the&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/swift/&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;MongoDB Swift Driver documentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We should add to the Swift Driver page an Intro paragraph stating exactly that and if you&apos;re looking to build an iOS app you should use the iOS SDK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A/C:&lt;/p&gt;

                            <comment id="4120657" author="JIRAUSER1259934" created="Wed, 13 Oct 2021 06:47:18 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;My point here is: right now we have &quot;the Realm iOS SDK&quot;. But using that SDK you can build for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;iOS&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;iPadOS&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;AppleTVOS&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;macOS (Apps with a graphical interface)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;p&gt;So the frontiers are becoming blurrier here and using the same code base you can create an App for different OSes. That&apos;s why I think the SDK will be renamed as Realm Swift SDK (I&apos;ve heard this, needs to be confirmed). If this happens, it&apos;ll be extremely confusing to choose between a &quot;MongoDB Swift Driver&quot; and a &quot;Realm Swift SDK&quot; when both are from MongoDB and storing data in Atlas (if sync enabled).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So a quick note at the beginning of the Swift Driver directing people to the iOS SDK will help, I think.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="4115873" author="kaitlin.mahar" created="Mon, 11 Oct 2021 14:58:09 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;I mostly agree except for that for some macOS use cases (think a client-side app) Realm is still an appropriate choice and as far as I can tell from &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/sdk/ios/&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/sdk/ios/&lt;/a&gt; the SDK works there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If someone is building a backend app or command line utility to run on macOS the Swift driver would make more sense though.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, possibly just not mentioning operating system at all and explaining the difference in terms of use case (Realm for client-side, Swift driver for server-side/backend/command line utility) would make more sense.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="4111004" author="nathan.leniz" created="Thu, 7 Oct 2021 18:04:54 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=kaitlin.mahar&quot; class=&quot;user-hover&quot; rel=&quot;kaitlin.mahar&quot;&gt;kaitlin.mahar&lt;/a&gt;&#160;Do you agree with this distinction? If so, we&apos;ll add the value proposition to the driver page.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
