Answer 1

you can Alamofire in ios.

 Alamofire.request("https://httpbin.org/get").responseJSON { response in
    print(response.request)  // original URL request
    print(response.response) // HTTP URL response
    print(response.data)     // server data
    print(response.result)   // result of response serialization

    if let JSON = response.result.value {
        print("JSON: \(JSON)")
    }
}

Even though Alamofire might seem like a good choice for networking, the native URLSession along with the Codable protocol provide the same functionality without adding any dependencies to your project.

let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
    // Handle data, response, and error
}

task.resume()
