How is AFNetworking easier than ASIHTTPRequest?

• matttthompson 15y ago
  Simple block-based API, significantly less lines of code to accomplish the same tasks, and smaller, more understandable codebase that uses Foundation classes (e.g. NSURLRequest, NSURLResponse, etc.), rather than re-inventing the wheel And though I don't have the exact numbers, AFNetworking is really fast, maybe 2-3x over ASI in average cases, from my experience and what other users report. Take a look at the examples in the README and compare that to how you'd do the same in ASI.

    doesn't ASI also use blocks? its syntax is very similar. but i didn't know about that it's much faster than ASI, thanks for that
