Centralized package index for SwiftPM.
The idea behind swift-index is that even centralized indices can be decentralized. This repo is a prototype of a swift-index compatible server. All it does is translating other centralized search APIs (CocoaPods, Swift Package Catalog, SwiftModules) into a swift-index form. The idea is to create thin frontends to more package indices out there. Then, users would opt-in to particular centralized indices in their Package.swift manifest file (not yet implemented) and SwiftPM would only need to understand communication with a swift-index compatible server (whoever maintains it).
(This is a WIP prototype only created to start a conversation around a centralized package index for SwiftPM. You're welcome to comment and hack away.)
This prototype server is running on https://swift-index.herokuapp.com, and so far only searching for packages with a specific keyword works, like
curl https://swift-index.herokuapp.com/v1/packages?q=json
returns
