Conduit

What is Conduit?

Conduit is a session-based Swift HTTP networking and auth library.

Within each session, requests are sent through a serial pipeline before being dispatched to the network queue. Within the pipeline, requests are processed through a collection of middleware that can decorate requests, pause the session pipeline, and empty the outgoing queue. From this pattern, Conduit bundles pre-defined middleware for OAuth2 authorization grants through all major flows defined within RFC 6749 and automatically applies tokens to requests as defined in RFC 6750.

Features:

•  Session-based network clients
•  Configurable middleware for outbound requests
•  Powerful HTTP request construction and serialization
•  JSON, XML, SOAP, URL-encoded, and Multipart Form serialization and response deserialization
•  Complex query parameter serialization
•  Cancellable/pausable session tasks with upload/download progress closures
•  SSL pinning / server trust policies
•  Network Reachability
•  OAuth2 client management
•  Automatic token refreshes, client_credential grants, and token storage
•  Secure token storage with AES-256 CBC encryption
•  Full manual control over all token grants within RFC 6749
•  Automatic bearer/basic token application
•  Embedded authorization page / authorization code grant strategies
•  Support for multiple network sessions / OAuth2 clients
•  Interfaces for migrating from pre-existing networking layers
