Protocols

Protocol describing the af extension points for Alamofire extended types.

Types adopting the AuthenticationCredential protocol can be used to authenticate URLRequests.

One common example of an AuthenticationCredential is an OAuth2 credential containing an access token used to authenticate all requests on behalf of a user. The access token generally has an expiration window of 60 minutes which will then require a refresh of the credential using the refresh token to generate a new access token.

Types adopting the Authenticator protocol can be used to authenticate URLRequests with an AuthenticationCredential as well as refresh the AuthenticationCredential when required.

A type that handles whether the data task should store the HTTP response in the cache.

Protocol outlining the lifetime events inside Alamofire. It includes both events received from the various URLSession delegate protocols as well as various events from the lifetime of Request and its subclasses.

A type that can encode any Encodable type into a URLRequest.

A type used to define how a set of parameters are applied to a URLRequest.

A type that handles how an HTTP redirect response from a remote server should be redirected to the new request.

Protocol abstraction for Request‘s communication back to the SessionDelegate.

A type that can produce an UploadRequest.Uploadable value.

A type that can be converted to an upload, whether from an UploadRequest.Uploadable or URLRequestConvertible.

A type that can inspect and optionally adapt a URLRequest in some manner if necessary.

A type that determines whether a request should be retried after being executed by the specified session manager and encountering an error.

Type that provides both RequestAdapter and RequestRetrier functionality.

The type to which all data response serializers must conform in order to serialize a response.

The type to which all download response serializers must conform in order to serialize a response.

A serializer that can handle both data and download responses.

Type used to preprocess Data before it handled by a serializer.

Protocol representing an empty response. Use T.emptyValue() to get an instance.

Any type which can decode Data into a Decodable type.

A type which can serialize incoming Data.

A protocol describing the API used to evaluate server trusts.

Types adopting the URLConvertible protocol can be used to construct URLs, which can then be used to construct URLRequests.

Types adopting the URLRequestConvertible protocol can be used to safely construct URLRequests.
