As I mentioned a while back<\/a>, I took on a much more technical role in my day job recently. I am working on IBM’s “Engineering Lifecycle Management<\/a>” product offering as a solution architect. My primary focus is on our reusable components, which includes many of our APIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

APIs are the building blocks of modern applications, and ELM has had APIs since its foundation many years ago. Many of the APIs are build around the concept of Open-Services for Lifecycle Collaboration<\/a> or OSLC. The OSLC standard utilizes RDF<\/a> as the format for its payloads; which is unfamiliar to many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RDF allows for a semantically rich representation of data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swift Playgrounds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This weekend I wanted to see if I could make a very simple (and quick) iOS application utilizing Swift Playgrounds to read the “root services” document from any ELM application. I had created a iOS app for my own use to do this in the past, utilizing a Swift Package by Gregory Williams called serd-swift<\/a>. This is a simple wrapper for the fast C library created by David Rollibard – serd<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, like many ideas dreamed up in the shower, this project was not going to be as simple as I wanted. I started by creating a simple iOS app in Swift Playgrounds and adding in the above package. At this point Swift Playgrounds complained that it could not compile “C” code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funny thing is that Swift Playgrounds didn’t just come out and say that the Package was the problem, the message showed up as the error – “The target type, “Clang Target”, is not supported. The good news is, I used to write objective C on the Mac, so I knew this meant, the “C” programming Language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew that in advance but had totally forgotten about it. So now my plan is to try to write the original serd library by David into a native Swift Package. This won’t be easy, and I plan to post updates on my blog as I progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned, as this may take a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
