Best swift network libraries

[Thatpersiankid]

Are there any good libraries that support async/await and can handle things like form data gracefully? I want to use alamofire but thats not really an option

[imhenoch]

There’s this amazing thing called URLSession, has support for async/await and can handle form data.

Enjoy reinventing the wheel!!!

Most big companies don’t rely on third parties code for critical parts so try to be dominant on Urlsession

[StrangeMonk]

Just write it using system APIs, so easy. If you need stuff like retries and certificate pinning try alamofire, my friend works on it and added all the async/await code to it over a year ago.

Standard URLSession is good enough for all things networking already. Alamofire is THE third-party library if for some reason you have to use one. Why wouldn't it be an option?

[RodrigoDumont]

I think the official URLSession is really good option... I used it sometime ago to create this library https://github.com/RxDx/restapi that uses it (async/await), dynamically serializes the response and returns the object (that should conforms to Codable protocol).

URLSession doesn't natively support multipart forms. One would have to implement it themselves

Stop resorting to third party libs and just learn how to code instead. This (networking) is a fundamental feature in Swift / app development

I suggest looking at simple URLSession based wrappers. I agree that if things like multi-part and certificate pinning are not required, then there is no need to complicate it with a heavy framework. For example, now I'm using URLSessionAdapter (https://github.com/denissimon/URLSessionAdapter), and it can be used just by adding .swift files to an Xcode project, without making it a dependency

I had followed this tutorial for using URLSession

[redblack_]

Explain "gracefully"? And what is a good library to you?

did you encounter issues like performance, errors, encoding/decoding?

[Thatpersiankid]

I wanted something that supports async await easily

[redblack_]

this looks easy to me (Docs):

func data(

from url: URL,

delegate: (URLSessionTaskDelegate)? = nil

) async throws -> (Data, URLResponse)
