HTTPAdapter

public protocol HTTPAdapter

The adapter for making HTTP requests. This may be implemented as an extension to a HTTP client or a custom type that implements this protocol.

It’s entirely async, with all methods receiving a callback. The adapter communicates success or failure to the callback using the HTTPAdapterResult enum, which encodes success and failure.

All the implementation details around encoding values and generating requests is left to the adapter and underlying client.

For example, the here are some of the adapter’s responsibility:

Authentication
Content negotiation
Caching

perform(_:request:callback:)
Issue a HTTP request, where the HTTP method is specified via the HTTPMethod enum e.g. .GET.
