## Description

YTKNetwork is a high-level networking wrapper library for Objective-C and Swift that simplifies request handling and response management. It serves as a networking layer built around AFNetworking to decouple request logic from underlying communications.

The project features an HTTP request orchestrator for grouping network calls into batches or sequences to manage data retrieval dependencies. It includes a JSON response validator to verify server responses against expected structural formats, a network request interceptor for executing custom logic during the call lifecycle, and a local caching layer that saves responses based on expiration or versioning.

The library further covers network traffic orchestration through URL transformation and request pipelining. It also provides media management capabilities specifically for resumable file downloads that track received byte offsets to restart interrupted transfers.
