Swift 中AFNetworking 的替代方案 Alamofire

Alamofire 是 Swift 语言的 HTTP 网络开发工具包，功能强大，支持各种 HTTP Method、JSON、文件上传、文件下载和多种认证方法。

AFNetworking的作者全新力作，原生Swfit语言编写，基本可以满足Swift中网络编程开发。

直接转一下官网的用法介绍

Alamofire is an HTTP networking library written in Swift, from the creator of AFNetworking.

Features

• Chainable Request / Response methods
• URL / JSON / plist Parameter Encoding
• Upload File / Data / Stream
• Download using Request or Resume data
• Authentication with NSURLCredential
• HTTP Response Validation
• Progress Closure & NSProgress
• cURL Debug Output
• Comprehensive Unit Test Coverage
• Complete Documentation

Requirements

• iOS 7.0+ / Mac OS X 10.9+
• Xcode 6.1

Communication

• If you need help, use Stack Overflow. (Tag 'alamofire')
• If you'd like to ask a general question, use Stack Overflow.
• If you found a bug, open an issue.
• If you have a feature request, open an issue.
• If you want to contribute, submit a pull request.

Installation

For application targets that do not support embedded frameworks, such as iOS 7, Alamofire can be integrated by including the Alamofire.swift source file directly, wrapping the top-level types instruct Alamofire to simulate a namespace. Yes, this sucks.

Due to the current lack of proper infrastructure for Swift dependency management, using Alamofire in your project requires the following steps:

1. Add Alamofire as a submodule by opening the Terminal, cd-ing into your top-level project directory, and entering the command git submodule add https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire.git
2. Open the Alamofire folder, and drag Alamofire.xcodeproj into the file navigator of your app project.
3. In Xcode, navigate to the target configuration window by clicking on the blue project icon, and selecting the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.
4. Ensure that the deployment target of Alamofire.framework matches that of the application target.
5. In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "Build Phases" panel.
6. Expand the "Target Dependencies" group, and add Alamofire.framework.
7. Click on the + button at the top left of the panel and select "New Copy Files Phase". Rename this new phase to "Copy Frameworks", set the "Destination" to "Frameworks", and addAlamofire.framework.

Usage

Making a Request

import Alamofire

Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")

Response Handling

Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get", parameters: ["foo": "bar"])
         .response { (request, response, data, error) in
                     println(request)
                     println(response)
                     println(error)
                   }

Networking in Alamofire is done asynchronously. Asynchronous programming may be a source of frustration to programmers unfamiliar with the concept, but there are very good reasons for doing it this way.

Rather than blocking execution to wait for a response from the server, a callback is specified to handle the response once it's received. The result of a request is only available inside the scope of a response handler. Any execution contingent on the response or data received from the server must be done within a handler.

Response Serialization

Built-in Response Methods

• response()
• responseString(encoding: NSStringEncoding)
• responseJSON(options: NSJSONReadingOptions)
• responsePropertyList(options: NSPropertyListReadOptions)

Response String Handler

Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
         .responseString { (_, _, string, _) in
                  println(string)
         }

Response JSON Handler

Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
         .responseJSON { (_, _, JSON, _) in
                  println(JSON)
         }

Chained Response Handlers

Response handlers can even be chained:

Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
         .responseString { (_, _, string, _) in
                  println(string)
         }
         .responseJSON { (_, _, JSON, _) in
                  println(JSON)
         }

HTTP Methods

Alamofire.Method lists the HTTP methods defined in RFC 7231 §4.3
