What is FSNetworking?

FSNetworking is a small library for HTTP networking on iOS. It comprises a single class, FSNConnection, and several small Cocoa Foundation categories. FSNConnection uses NSConnection, blocks, and NSConnection’s operation queue delegate or GCD.

Features

• Asynchronous HTTP and HTTPS requests.
• GET and POST (urlencoded and form data); easily extended for other HTTP methods.
• Response parsing in a background thread, followed by a completion block on the main thread.
• Convenient, safe object retention sementics and life cycle management, enabling fire-and-forget requests.
• Support for iOS background tasks.
• Useful utilities for creating and debugging form data, parsing JSON, error checking, etc.
• Clean, straightforward implementation; no class hierarchies to grok. Easily trace and understand the life cycle of your connection!
