Is SwiftData created specifically for SwiftUI?

Many of Apple's tutorials on SwiftData are written alongside SwiftUI, including the sample code.

Would it be a bad idea to use SwiftData separately? If I don't use SwiftUI, would it be wiser to choose a different database instead?

No, SwiftData can be used with UIKit for instance, not requiring SwiftUI.
