support curation for Swift packages

[viveksahu26]

Is there any plan to support Swift packages as a harvest source in ClearlyDefined?

I tried to curate data for the following PURL:
pkg:swift/github.com/apple/swift-protobuf@1.31.1:

curl -X GET "https://api.clearlydefined.io/definitions/syft/github.com/apple/swift-protobuf/1.31.1" -H "accept: */*" | jq .

The response was:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100    74  100    74    0     0     39      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:--    39
{
  "error": {
    "code": "500",
    "message": "An error has occurred",
    "innererror": {}
  }
}

From the Adding a Harvest source, I see support for ecosystems like npm, maven, pypi, nuget, git, etc., but I don’t see Swift listed.

@viveksahu26 late to reply! there is no plan yet, but we can do it. I am moving this to the crawler repo. Would you be willing to help with creating that?
