Swifty WebService - Open Sourcing Flipkart iOS App's Networking Stack
summary
Flipkart open sources Swifty + WebService: a networking stack that is 100% Swift but callable from Objective‑C, with declarative request-as-function syntax, Network Request Throttling and Prioritization, request/response interceptors, constraints that block until async preconditions complete, a mock modifier for canned responses and a task inspector. Benchmarks claim Swifty often outperforms Alamofire, though retry, HTTP digest and certificate‑pinning are noted missing; the stack is extensible and enforces compile‑time checks like disallowing bodies on GET.
