AsyncHTTPClient is an HTTP client library for Swift built on top of SwiftNIO. It provides asynchronous, non-blocking request APIs with first-class Swift Concurrency support, streaming bodies, TLS, and automatic HTTP/2.

Use cases

• make http requests from a swift app
• async await http client for swift
• download response bodies as a stream
• call rest apis from a swift server
• http client with tls and http2 support
• follow redirects in swift

When to choose

• you are building Swift applications or server-side Swift services that need HTTP requests
• you want non-blocking, high-performance networking on SwiftNIO
• you need Swift Concurrency async/await or EventLoopFuture APIs
• you need streaming downloads, TLS, or HTTP/2 over HTTPS

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured HTTP client with cookie storage or caching out of the box
• your project is not in Swift
• you need a browser or high-level REST client abstraction rather than a low-level HTTP client
