Overcoat is an Objective-C library that simplifies building REST clients on top of AFNetworking, using Mantle to map HTTP responses into plain or Core Data model objects. It provides a small API for making requests, handling enveloped and error responses, and serializing to Core Data.

Use cases

• build a rest client in objective-c
• map json api responses to model objects
• serialize api responses into core data
• handle enveloped and error responses from a rest api
• create a typed api client on top of afnetworking

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS or OS X app already using AFNetworking and Mantle
• you want automatic mapping of REST responses to Core Data models in Objective-C

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - the library is unmaintained and Swift-native alternatives exist
• you need modern async/await or Swift concurrency support
• you use Swift-only networking stacks like Alamofire or URLSession with Codable
