The best Alamofire alternatives

3 tools that do a similar job to Alamofire, 3 of them open source. Each entry says what it does and who it suits, so you can pick the one that fits instead of the most famous.

You're replacing

Alamofire

A Swift library that makes HTTP network requests in apps simpler to write.

  1. 1

    Moya

    Open source · MIT · ★ 15.4k

    A Swift library that wraps network requests in a typed, testable layer.

    Best for: Swift developers building iOS or macOS apps that call web APIs; Teams that want network calls organized in one place

  2. 2

    SwiftyJSON

    Open source · MIT · ★ 22.9k

    A Swift library that makes reading JSON data simpler and safer than Foundation's built-in parsing.

    Best for: Swift developers building iOS, macOS, tvOS or watchOS apps that read JSON from web APIs; Teams maintaining existing projects that already use SwiftyJSON

  3. 3

    ky

    Open source · MIT · ★ 17.1k

    A tiny HTTP client for JavaScript that wraps the Fetch API with simpler calls and error handling.

    Best for: JavaScript or TypeScript developers who already use fetch and want less boilerplate; Projects that call a REST API and want JSON parsing and error handling in one call

How we pick: tools in the same category that solve the same problem, projects that name each other as alternatives, and open-source projects that describe themselves as an alternative to Alamofire. We don't take payment for placement.
