help Carter FAQ
What is Carter used for in Swift development?
Carter is an open-source Swift package for building modular HTTP services with Apple's Vapor framework. It helps organize routes and request-handling code into separate modules.
Does Carter replace Vapor?
No. Carter works with Vapor rather than replacing it. Vapor remains the underlying web framework, while Carter provides a more structured way to arrange service modules.
Why would a Vapor project use Carter?
A larger Vapor application can become difficult to maintain when routes and handlers are kept together. Carter separates those parts, making a modular server structure easier to manage.
Is Carter suitable for a small Swift web service?
It can be, especially when the service is expected to grow beyond a few routes. For a very small Vapor project, its modular structure may add more organization than the project currently needs.
