  • 0

I have been using ASIHTTPRequest for quite a while now and i quite satisfied with it. However since it has been deprecated, I am considering replacing it. My first though was to go with the NSURLConnection, but I found out that ASIHTTPRequest actually does quite a lot. For example I like its queue handling.

The iPhone application that I am working on uses a REST API, so I have been considering RESTKit. Is is possible to use RESTKit without Core Data? As it is know I have pure dataobjects and I do not want to use Core Data, not right now anyway.

Are there any other good alternatives to ASIHTTPRequest?

BTW I know that there is a similar question but this is more specific.

    I can definitely recommend RestKit, I make use of it a lot! It handles common stuff for you and no, you don’t have to use Core Data. RestKit can work with it, but that is just a nice feature.
    A good starting point for using RestKit is the wiki on github.

    RestKit relies on AFNetworking as a networking framework. If RestKit seems to be an overkill, you may want to try only this one.
