Swift Network
Swift Network is a high-level networking framework developed by Apple for building network applications in Swift, providing a modern, type-safe API for handling network requests, responses, and protocols. It abstracts low-level networking details, offering features like URLSession integration, protocol support (e.g., HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket), and concurrency with async/await. The framework is designed to simplify network programming in Swift-based applications, particularly for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
Developers should learn Swift Network when building Apple platform applications that require reliable and efficient network communication, such as fetching data from APIs, streaming content, or implementing real-time features. It is especially useful for projects leveraging Swift's modern concurrency model (async/await) to handle network tasks without blocking the main thread, improving app performance and user experience. Use cases include mobile apps, desktop software, and IoT devices within the Apple ecosystem.
