# Embedded Swift -- Status
**⚠️ Embedded Swift is experimental. This document might be out of date with latest development.**
**‼️ Use the latest downloadable 'Trunk Development' snapshot from swift.org to use Embedded Swift. Public releases of Swift do not yet support Embedded Swift.**
For an introduction and motivation into Embedded Swift, please see "[A Vision for Embedded Swift](https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/visions/embedded-swift.md)", a Swift Evolution document highlighting the main goals and approaches.
## Embedded Standard Library Breakdown
This status table describes which of the following standard library features can be used in Embedded Swift:
| **Swift Standard Library Feature** | **Currently Supported In Embedded Swift?** |
|------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Array (dynamic heap-allocated container) | Yes |
| Array slices | Yes |
| assert, precondition, fatalError | Partial, only StaticStrings can be used as a failure message |
| Bool, Integer types, Float types | Yes |
| Codable, Encodable, Decodable | No |
| Collection + related protocols | Yes |
| Collection algorithms (sort, reverse) | Yes |
| CustomStringConvertible, CustomDebugStringConvertible | No |
| Dictionary (dynamic heap-allocated container) | Yes |
| FixedWidthInteger + related protocols | Yes |
| Hashable, Equatable, Comparable protocols | Yes |
| InputStream, OutputStream | No |
| Integer parsing | No |
| KeyPaths | No |
| Lazy collections | No |
| Mirror | No, intentionally unsupported long-term |
| Objective-C bridging | No, intentionally unsupported long-term |
| Optional | Yes |
| print / debugPrint | Partial (only StaticStrings and integers) |
| Range, ClosedRange, Stride | Yes |
| Result | Yes |
| Set (dynamic heap-allocated container) | Yes |
| SIMD types | Yes |
| StaticString | Yes |
| String (dynamic) | No (work in progress) |
| String Interpolations | No (work in progress) |
| Unicode | No |
| Unsafe\[Mutable\]\[Raw\]\[Buffer\]Pointer | Yes |
| VarArgs | No |
## Non-stdlib Features
This status table describes which of the following Swift features can be used in Embedded Swift:
| **Swift Feature** | **Currently Supported In Embedded Swift?** |
|------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Synchronization module | Yes |
| Swift Concurrency | Partial, experimental (basics of actors and tasks work in single-threaded concurrency mode) |
| C interop | Yes |
| C++ interop | Yes |
| ObjC interop | No, intentionally unsupported long-term |
| Library Evolution | No, intentionally unsupported long-term |
