 Write Requests Fast!

Alamofire's compact syntax and extensive feature set allow requests with powerful features like automatic retry to be written in just a few lines of code.

swift
// Automatic String to URL conversion, Swift concurrency support, and automatic retry.
let response = await AF.request("https://httpbin.org/get", interceptor: .retryPolicy)
                       // Automatic HTTP Basic Auth.
                       .authenticate(username: "user", password: "pass")
                       // Caching customization.
                       .cacheResponse(using: .cache)
                       // Redirect customization.
                       .redirect(using: .follow)
                       // Validate response code and Content-Type.
                       .validate()
                       // Produce a cURL command for the request.
                       .cURLDescription { description in
                         print(description)
                       }
                       // Automatic Decodable support with background parsing.
                       .serializingDecodable(DecodableType.self)
                       // Await the full response with metrics and a parsed body.
                       .response
// Detailed response description for easy debugging.
debugPrint(response)
