## What it is
OctoKit is a Cocoa and Cocoa Touch framework for interacting with the GitHub API, built on AFNetworking, Mantle, and ReactiveCocoa. It provides typed client objects and reactive signals for fetching GitHub data from macOS and iOS apps.

## Use cases
- access the github api from an ios app
- fetch a user's repositories in a mac app
- authenticate with github from objective-c
- work with github enterprise from a cocoa app
- reactive http requests to github

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C or Swift app already using ReactiveCocoa and need GitHub API access
- you need a typed Cocoa wrapper around the GitHub REST API including GitHub Enterprise support

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the repository is no longer supported or updated by GitHub
- you use modern async/await Swift or Combine instead of ReactiveCocoa
- you need current GitHub API features or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, auth, sdk
- domain: apis, developer-tools
- platform: cpp
- tags: github-api, objective-c, cocoa, reactivecocoa, deprecated, macos, ios, swift
