Swift HTTP Types is an Apple-maintained Swift library providing version-independent HTTP request, response, and header field types usable by both clients and servers. It includes Foundation conveniences for URLSession and URL conversion, plus SwiftNIO channel handlers for HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 integration.

Use cases

• represent http requests and responses in swift
• share http types between client and server code
• use modern http types with urlsession
• bridge swift-nio http1 and http2 to common types
• manage http header fields in swift

When to choose

• you build Swift HTTP clients or servers and want version-independent types
• you need a common HTTP abstraction across URLSession and SwiftNIO
• you want Apple-supported, modern HTTP primitives for Swift

When to avoid

• you work outside the Swift ecosystem
• you need a full HTTP client or server implementation rather than types
• your project already standardizes on Foundation URL types exclusively
