create a tcp server in swift

To create a TCP server in Swift, we can make use of the socket API provided by the Foundation framework. Here's an example of how to create a basic TCP server:

main.swift
import Foundation

// Create a socket
let serverSocket = try! ServerSocket(port: 8080)

// Start listening for incoming connections
serverSocket.listen()

// Accept incoming connections
while true {
    let clientSocket = try! serverSocket.accept()

    // Handle incoming data
    let data = clientSocket.read(1024)

    // Send a response back to the client
    let response = "Hello, world!".data(using: .utf8)!
    clientSocket.write(response)

    // Close the connection
    clientSocket.close()
}

In this example, we first create a ServerSocket object on port 8080. We then start listening for incoming connections using the listen() method.

Next, we use a while loop to continuously accept incoming connections using the accept() method. Once an incoming connection is established, we read the incoming data using the read() method, and send a response back to the client using the write() method. Finally, we close the connection using the close() method.

Note that this is just a basic example to get you started. In a real-world application, you would need to handle errors, manage multiple clients simultaneously, and implement more complex logic for handling incoming data.
