ASIHTTPRequest vs AFNetworking vs NSUrlRequest

Question

In the past I have use ASIHTTPRequest but now there is NSURLRequest. Should we be using the NSURLRequest now? Are there any disadvantages

Answer 1

Native (NSURLSession) vs AFNetworking or any other library.

I would recommend you to use NSURLSession because it gives you a lot of customization on app end. Recently I was working on a project, I have to use multipart form data some where in the app. I have to provide my request body to the backend guy, I did use AfNetworking logger to print my body but it did not help me. so I did move to cocoa native library and got my solution.

so I would suggest you to use iOS native networking because it gives you a lot of customization but if you would need less code then you can use any 3rd party library.
