Siesta is a Swift library for building REST API clients on iOS, macOS, and tvOS. It provides an app-wide, observable, resource-centric cache of RESTful resource state, handling loading indicators, error handling, retries, and request deduplication.

Use cases

• consume a REST API from an iOS app without ad hoc networking code
• share cached API resource state across multiple view controllers
• show loading and error states for network requests with automatic retry
• avoid redundant requests and deserialization for the same resource
• observe remote resource changes reactively in Swift or Objective-C apps

When to choose

• building an iOS/macOS/tvOS app that talks to a RESTful API
• you want observable, cached resource models instead of request-centric networking
• you need built-in loading/error state management and request deduplication

When to avoid

• your backend is not RESTful (e.g., GraphQL or gRPC)
• you need a cross-platform (non-Apple) networking solution
• the project needs actively evolving features; the library is in maintenance mode
