How: Abstract away caching and downloading from remote resource

🎤 General Discussion Swift
1

how would one go about abstracting data parsing from a remote resource if the data can come in different formats (JSON, XML, YAML, etc) depending on the URL?

hi @iganti,
Have you looked at Alamofire (GitHub - Alamofire/Alamofire: Elegant HTTP Networking in Swift)? It is a very useful library,

cheers,

yes, but I believe my needs are closer to that of GitHub - SDWebImage/SDWebImage: Asynchronous image downloader with cache support as a UIImageView category (i.e. in terms of creating a framework)

4

I have another possible suggestion @lganti, GitHub - onevcat/Kingfisher: A lightweight, pure-Swift library for downloading and caching images from the web. .

Best,
Gina

thanks for the response; my task at hand was to build something of that sort, was looking for something along the lines of NSCache and DiscardableContent
