Open-source alternatives to SwiftWebSocket

Thin wrapper around NSURLSession in swift. Simplifies HTTP requests.

Reactive WebSockets

WebSocket(RFC-6455) library written using Swift

Swifter is a lightweight HTTP server engine and networking library for the Swift programming language. It provides a minimal networking layer designed for hosting internal web services, building server-side applications, and implementing custom HTTP servers. The project enables the creation of embedded web services for remote control or status monitoring and supports lightweight web hosting with a minimal footprint. Its capabilities cover the management of raw TCP connections and network sockets, using a request-response cycle to parse incoming data into HTTP requests and map them to handler

A lightweight library for writing HTTP web servers with Swift

Nuke is an image loading system designed to fetch, cache, and render images and short video clips within a user interface. It functions as an asset caching engine and a resumable download manager to handle the retrieval of remote media files. The framework includes a request priority manager to coordinate duplicate requests and order loading based on visual importance. It employs an image prefetching strategy to load visuals into memory before they are required and uses an LRU asset cache to reduce network traffic. The system covers broader capabilities in traffic management and data storage

Socket framework for Swift using the Swift Package Manager. Works on iOS, macOS, and Linux.

SSL/TLS Add-in for BlueSocket using Secure Transport and OpenSSL

Kingfisher is a library for downloading, caching, and displaying remote images in Swift applications. It provides an integrated framework that manages the entire lifecycle of remote assets, from initial network retrieval to final rendering within user interface components. The library distinguishes itself through a two-tiered storage mechanism that balances rapid access via volatile memory with persistent availability through disk caching. It features a modular processing pipeline that allows for dynamic image transformations, such as applying filters or geometric modifications, during the re

Perfect is a server-side Swift framework designed for building high-performance web applications, REST APIs, and backend services. It provides an asynchronous HTTP server that handles web traffic through an event loop, alongside a web template engine for generating dynamic HTML pages. The project includes a WebSocket communication library for implementing bidirectional, real-time data exchange between clients and servers. It also provides a database connector to establish connections and exchange data between Swift applications and external database stores. The framework's capabilities cover

Write clean, concise and declarative network code relying on URLSession, with the power of RxSwift. Inspired by Retrofit.

This is a Socket.IO client library for Swift, providing an event-driven networking framework for establishing real-time, bidirectional communication between iOS applications and Socket.IO servers. It functions as a tool for maintaining persistent connections and exchanging named data events and binary payloads. The library implements a WebSocket-based transport with an HTTP long-polling fallback to ensure connectivity. It manages a callback-based architecture to handle server notifications and utilizes encrypted communication channels to secure network traffic. The framework covers the excha
