HermesNetwork

HermesNetwork is the concrete implementation of an isolated/testable networking layer written in Swift.

Architecture Design

Current version is based upon the network architecture design described in: "Network Layers in Swift (Updated)" written by me.

Used Libraries

While the theory behind this approach is independent from the tool used, in order to give a complete out-of-box approach I’ve used the following libraries:

• Networking support: in this example the Service implementation uses Alamofire. Switching to NSURLSession is pretty easy and, in fact, suggested.
• Async/Promise support: I love promises (at least until we’ll get something better with Swift 5) because they are clean, simple and offer a strong error handling mechanism. Our networking layer uses Hydra, that recently hits the 1.0 milestone.
• JSON: The higher level (near your app) of the architecture offer out-of-box JSON support with JSONOperation class: everything about JSON was offered by SwiftyJSON, probability the best library for these stuff.
