## What it is
MKNetworkKit is an Objective-C networking framework for iOS 8+ built on NSURLSession, providing built-in authentication and HTTP 1.1 caching standards support. It simplifies HTTP requests, caching, and reachability handling in iOS apps.

## Use cases
- make http requests from an ios app in objective-c
- add http 1.1 compliant caching to ios networking
- handle authentication in ios network calls
- queue and manage network operations on ios
- offline caching of api responses on iphone

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS codebase already using MKNetworkKit
- you need NSURLSession-based networking with built-in HTTP caching on old iOS versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project - use Alamofire, URLSession directly, or Swift concurrency
- you need Swift-native networking or modern async/await APIs
- the project appears unmaintained with no license file and last release in 2017

## Facets
