## What it is
SwiftHTTP is a thin Swift wrapper around NSURLSession that simplifies making HTTP requests with closure-based APIs. It supports parameter encoding, JSON serialization, uploads/downloads with progress, and SSL pinning.

## Use cases
- make simple GET/POST requests in Swift
- upload files with progress callbacks
- download files to disk
- serialize parameters into query strings or JSON bodies
- add custom headers to requests
- pin SSL certificates for secure connections

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, concise HTTP client in Swift without heavy dependencies
- you need simple closure-based request APIs with queue support
- you need basic upload/download with progress handling

## When to avoid
- you need async/await or modern Swift concurrency APIs
- you want a actively maintained library with frequent updates (last release 2021)
- you need advanced features like interceptors or streaming responses
