## A delightful iOS networking library with NSOperations and block-based callbacks
### There's a lot to be said for a networking library that you can wrap your head around. API design matters, too. Code at its best is poetry, and should be designed to delight (but never surprise).
AFNetworking was lovingly crafted to make best use of our favorite parts of Apple's `Foundation` framework: `NSOperation` for managing multiple concurrent requests, `NSURLRequest` & `NSHTTPURLResponse` to encapsulate state, `NSCache` and `NSURLCache` for performant and compliant cacheing behavior, and blocks to keep HTTP request / response handling code in a single logical unit in code.

If you're tired of massive libraries that try to do too much, if you've taken it upon yourself to roll your own hacky solution, if you want a library that _actually makes iOS networking code kinda fun_, try out AFNetworking.

## Dependencies
* [iOS 4.0+](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#releasenotes/General/WhatsNewIniPhoneOS/Articles/iPhoneOS4.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009559-SW1) - AFNetworking uses blocks, which were introduced in iOS 4.
* [JSONKit](https://github.com/johnezang/JSONKit) - One of the conveniences built into `AFHTTPOperation` is automatic JSON parsing for HTTP requests that return content-type `application/json`. JSONKit is our preferred JSON parsing library, and is included in the example project. (`NSJSONSerialization`, introduced in iOS 5 is used if available, and falls back on JSONKit)
