# Vapor Documentation

This is the documentation for Vapor, a Web Framework for Swift that works on iOS, macOS, and Ubuntu; and all of the packages that Vapor offers.

Vapor is the most used web framework for Swift. It provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website or API.

## Getting Started

If this is your first time using Vapor, head to the [Install &rarr; macOS](install/macos.md) section to install Swift and Vapor.

Once you have Vapor installed, check out [Getting Started &rarr; Hello, world](getting-started/hello-world.md) to create your first Vapor app!
