Difference with meteor-ios #42

Hi, what is the difference between this package and meteor-iOS? It seems pretty similar, so maybe you should add a section in readme.md about why this library is better or different.

Yea, that's not a bad idea. The biggest difference is obviously that SwiftDDP is written in Swift, while Meteor-iOS, though interoperable with Swift, is written in Objective-C. There's also beta support for Meteor OAuth accounts, which is unusual and which, I believe, Meteor-iOS lacks. Being written in Swift also allows for an API that's a bit closer in spirit to Meteor's JS code, with limitations.

There are other differences, but Meteor-iOS is a great project which you should definitely take a look at, and I believe the Meteor ecosystem is better for having both. Try them both and use the one that best suits you.
