## What it is
Networking is a Swift HTTP networking library built on URLSession with a simple, singleton-free API. It offers built-in request stubbing/mocking, flexible caching, image downloading, and multiple body encoding options.

## Use cases
- make http requests in an ios app with swift
- stub or fake network responses for testing
- download and cache images from urls
- send  or multipart request bodies
- handle http basic and bearer token authentication
- cancel in-flight network requests
- replace alamofire with a dependency-free networking layer

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight Swift HTTP client with no external dependencies
- you need easy request stubbing for unit tests
- you want built-in image downloading and caching
- you prefer a singleton-free, minimal API over Alamofire or Moya

## When to avoid
- you need advanced features like request interceptors or reactive extensions
- your project is not in Swift or targets non-Apple platforms
- you already have a large Alamofire/Moya-based codebase with plugins
