ButterCMS is easy to use, and their customer service is great! The few times I wasn’t able to figure something out, their support guided me through the entire process.

ButterCMS is the best WordPress alternative for Swift for a simple reason: Swift developers can build solutions that marketing teams love. Our API allows your content gurus to quickly spin up high-converting blog posts, dynamic landing pages, SEO pages, product marketing pages, and more, all using simple drag-and-drop functionality.
I love having control of my website content without having to use WordPress. The language option makes localization super easy. Their support is awesome. I made a complicated request and it was taken care of within 24 hours.

Fast integration with any Swift app
Our mission was to make it easy to integrate Butter with your existing Swift app in minutes. It’s so simple! To demonstrate, here’s a mini tutorial to give you a feel for the process of adding marketing pages to your Swift app.
See how easily you can integrate the ButterCMS Pages API with your Swift app.
ButterCMS Saves You Development Time
Most customers get our Swift CMS up and running in less than an hour. Try it yourself!
Before ButterCMS, our dev team spent a lot of time in WordPress creating pages, adjusting fields, and pulling data through the APIs. What I really like about ButterCMS is that our marketing team managed to learn ButterCMS really quickly, and now they’re able to create pages and collections on their own. It saves a lot of time and allows our developers to focus on actual development.

Provide this git repository: https://github.com/ButterCMS/buttercms-swift.git.
Then set your version, e.g. 1.0.7
For CocoaPods:
Install CocoaPods if not installed already with $ brew install cocoapods
Create a Podfile in the root directory of your project with $ pod init and open your generated podfile. For example: $ open -a Xcode Podfile.
Update your podfile so it reads like the below snippet, then run $ pod install
target 'YourAppName' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'ButterCMSSDK', '1.0.7'
end
2. Initialize the SDK:
To get started with the Butter API, instantiate the ButterCMSClient with your ButterCMS API token.
// Initialize Butter client
import ButterCMSSDK
var butter = ButterCMSClient(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")
3. Fetch posts or pages:
All ButterCMS Single Pages and Page Types have a configurable Page schema. In order to fetch a Page via the Swift SDK, you'll need to model the Butter Page schema as a Codable Struct and pass it to the getPages API, which will allow the SDK to deserialize the page data for you.
This is different from Blog posts, which have a fixed data model. For example, to fetch all blog posts, you can use the SDK's getPosts() function:
import ButterCMSSDK
var butter = ButterCMSClient(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")
ButterCMSDK calls to the posts or pages API return JSON responses, like the below sample, which can be easily integrated into the framework of your choice.
