Introduction

• With every new version of iOS, we are also
  getting updated with the support to write great
  codes in the form of libraries. Many companies
  hire iOS app development agencies to use these
  libraries. With time we have a plentiful, and it
  comes down to deciding which one to use. The
  answer is pretty subjective. The best libraries
  are the ones that solve the issues you face
  during development.
• Here is a list of the top 6 libraries that every
  iOS developer can use.

1. Alamofire

• If you are looking for a networking library for
  iOS app development, then you can use Alomfire,
  written in Swift. It can make HTTP(S) requests
  for iOS and other apple platforms. In Alamofire,
  an API is built on top of the URL session, which
  the iOS developer can use to efficiently complete
  all HTTP requests and networking tasks. You get
  an utterly asynchronous networking with
  Alamofire, where the main thread is used to
  handle all the requests, making the UI very
  smooth. In addition, you can benefit from
  different features, including JSON and codable
  decoding, chainable request/response method, and
  many more features for iOS development.

2. AFNetworking

• With the release of iOS7, we got introduced to
  the NSURL session. You should hire an iOS
  developer who knows these latest updates. NSURL
  session is preferred for networking in iOS. The
  developer has to write codes to use this new
  method. They can also skip doing this with the
  AFNetworking library. iOS developers should
  update themselves with the latest version of the
  library. They can end up being in awe with many
  cool features, including UIKit integration and
  reachability support.

3. ObjectMapper

• When you hire iOS developers, ask them how they
  handle JSON. ObjectMapper allows the developer to
  map JSON to objects and vice versa. It is an
  excellent serialization/deserialization library
  used with Java. It has the ObjectMapper API,
  which can be used to eliminate the need to write
  codes to generate JSON response objects. It also
  provides the flexibility to take a
  straightforward way to parse and create a
  response. This library can be availed using
  AlamofireObjectMapper, an extension of Alamofire.
  The iOS developers can use this extension to
  convert JSON response data into Swift Objects.

4. SDWebImage

• Using plentiful libraries can be an excellent
  reason to hire iOS app developers with experience
  to analyze the use of these libraries. SDWebImage
  is another perfect library that every iOS
  developer can use. They get an asynchronous image
  downloader along with cache support. For the
  image and cache support, you can use different
  categories, including UIImageView, and UIButton.
  An experienced iOS developer can help you use the
  rich features set that comes with the library.
  You get thumbnail image decoding that can help
  you save memory and CPU, an extendable image
  coder that supports large image formats, and many
  other things to support iOS app development.

5. SwiftyJSON

• The frontend developer often has to get into
  handling data in JSON format. Using SwiftyJSON,
  the developers can use the explicit data types in
  JSON that help the users read and process JSON
  data. Since the JSON data is mostly implicit,
  using SwiftyJSON can greatly help. Let us take a
  look at the Swift conversion of data.
• if let statusesArray try? JSONSerialization.json
  Object(with data, options .allowFragments) as?
  String Any,
• let students statusesArray0"students"
  as? String Any,
• let studentName user"name" as? String
• //we got the student name

5. SwiftyJSON

• Now, let us see the same in SwiftyJSON
• // json from networking or String
• let json JSON(data dataFromNetworkingOrString)
• if let studentName json0"students""name".s
  tring
• //we got the student name
• Source SwiftyJSON How To Parse JSON with Swift

• The latter is easy to read and write.

6. MBProgressHUD

• MBProgressHUD is an activity indicator library
  used to develop applications for apple devices.
  You can connect with any iOS app development
  company to hire iOS developers with relevant
  knowledge about this and other libraries. In
  addition, this library helps you manage the
  loopholes of the UI Kit. With this library, the
  developers get a Heads-up display with a spinner,
  image, or text to show loading, success, and
  failure alerts.

Conclusion

• This list will give you a fair idea of the
  libraries you can use to enhance your application
  development experience. Developers can use many
  other libraries to save time and develop
  incredible applications. You can use many tools,
  such as CocoaPods, to install and maintain
  libraries. These tools also simplify project
  dependency management for you. Hire an iOS
  developer today to develop highly responsive apps
  and get an edge over the competition.
