in plain english

This project is a Swift library that lets your server-side code manage a Keycloak server. Keycloak is a popular open source tool for handling identity and access, things like user logins, permissions, and multi-app authentication, and it normally exposes an admin API that developers interact with using its own Java client library. This repository is a faithful port of that Java admin client into Swift, so Swift developers can call the same kind of admin operations without leaving their language of choice. With this library you can manage realms, which are separate identity spaces within Keycloak, along with users, clients, roles, groups, identity providers, organizations, and authorization policies, all through async and await calls. It also includes support for UMA 2.0, a standard that lets a resource server check whether a given user has permission to access a protected resource before granting it. The README highlights that the library uses Swift's strict concurrency model, meaning the code is written to avoid data races without falling back on unsafe workarounds. It offers a fluent, chainable style for building requests, such as asking for a specific user inside a specific realm in one line. All the data models are Codable and Sendable structs, so they can be converted to and from JSON and safely passed between concurrent tasks. The library depends on only one external package, AsyncHTTPClient, for making the actual network requests. It also manages OAuth 2.0 tokens automatically, refreshing and retrying them as needed so you don't have to write that logic yourself. To use it, you need Swift 6.3 or later, and either macOS 14 or a Linux server, along with a running Keycloak server, version 25 or newer is recommended. You add it to your project through Swift Package Manager. The README includes example code for listing realms, creating a user and setting their password, searching for users, and registering a protected resource with the authorization client. The project is released under the Apache License 2.0. The README also discloses that the Java-to-Swift port was generated with the help of an AI tool called AWS Kiro, with all resulting code reviewed and tested by humans.
