Conclusion

In this lesson, you’ve learned some advanced applications of protocols in Swift, gaining insights on how to construct APIs that are not only user-friendly but also offer compile-time safety. You explored the following key aspects:

  • How to use associated types to make your protocols generic.
  • How to use protocol extensions to provide default implementations for functions — and how to add additional functions and properties, if required.
  • How to use generics with protocols to make your code more flexible.
  • How to use protocol composition to combine multiple protocols.
