## What it is
SwiftTask is a Swift library providing Promise-style asynchronous tasks with progress reporting, pause, resume, cancel, and retry capabilities. It wraps async work (e.g., networking with Alamofire) into composable task chains with success/failure callbacks.

## Use cases
- manage async tasks with promises in swift
- track download progress in ios
- cancel or pause long-running swift tasks
- retry failed async operations in swift
- wrap alamofire requests in a promise-like task

## When to choose
- you need promise-style async handling with progress and cancellation in Swift
- you want retryable and pausable async tasks on iOS/macOS

## When to avoid
- you use Swift Concurrency (async/await), which is now the standard
- you need an actively maintained library - the latest release is from 2019

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
