Alternatives to RestKit or ASIHTTPRequest for iOS

Are there any alternatives for connecting to a web service with iOS, other than RestKit or ASIHTTPRequest? ASIHTTPRequest is no longer being updated, so I'd like to know if there is anything currently being supported and updated other than RestKit. Thank you.

Replacement for RestKit is SLazeKit framework providing models mapper and CoreData serializer for RESTful resources.

SLazeKit allows you to:

  • map your models by Codable protocol
  • serialize CoreData models from API responses
  • fast and simple extend your models with API & CoreData

It is written in Swift. However, others of you my find it useful. :)

Take a look at Spaghetti. It's a nice replacement for RestKit, especially if the web server that you connect to is not as RESTfull as you hoped. Happy support available.

The author of ASI (long may it be missed!) recommends AFNetworking. Based on what I've seen here, it seems a popular choice.

You can of course roll your own with the built in NSURLConnection stuff that comes with the framework.

There is no need for ASIHTTPRequest whatsoever. Everything you need can be accomplished with NSURLConnection and its delegate.
