• Alamofire

  2 35,128 6.7 Swift

  Elegant HTTP Networking in Swift

  Latest mention: Is Alamofire the industry standard or does your company handle networking differently? | reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming | 2021-01-24

  AlamoFire doesn’t support background configurations. Makes it impossible for my company to use AlamoFire for the one part of the app where it’d be useful as we support uploading/downloading unlimited numbers of files at a time (data driven app with offline support). If you’re downloading/uploading 10GB of data, you don’t want to be stuck sitting in an app waiting for it to finish... I’d be shocked if it’s an industry standard with such an important core feature missing.

  Latest mention: Need help with json data formatting | reddit.com/r/swift | 2021-01-09

  I second /u/daisnb that if possible, make sure the data is a consistent format and types, but if you’re unable to do that, I think SwiftyJSON can help, as it loosens the strict type requirement of Swift when handling JSON data

  Latest mention: RxSwift - easy, yet not obvious, tips | dev.to | 2021-01-21

  I think this is the most important thing to understand with all your heart. All subjects, relays and operators might seem scary, especially with Rx-hermetic jargon. But simplifying it in your head to a simple collection will help you to understand all concepts easily. For me it was a sudden click. If you want to learn more, official docs are great source and emphasize this concept: https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift/blob/main/Documentation/GettingStarted.md#observables-aka-sequences

• SnapKit

  1 17,225 3.0 Swift

  A Swift Autolayout DSL for iOS & OS X

  Latest mention: Total failure of Xcode Storyboards | dev.to | 2020-09-06

  It appears that writing views programmatically is not easy too. Apple didn't provide easy in use classes and methods to write views easily. At least notation could be shorter however concept of constraints itself is quite good in UIKit. That's why people invented a lot of DSL (domain-specific language) libraries like the most popular SnapKit, tricky Carthography or super concise Stevia. I invented my own DSL AutoLayout library LayoutExtension which is now in early version however I use it in one commercial project with full success.
