A practical example showing how to use RequestSpec with Alamofire for networking.
This example demonstrates how RequestSpec integrates seamlessly with Alamofire, one of the most popular networking libraries in the Swift ecosystem.
- Two integration approaches: URLRequestConvertible vs manual conversion
- Three working examples: GET with structured RequestSpec, POST with conditional modifiers, and direct Request usage
- Real API calls to JSONPlaceholder
- Best practices showing validate() and proper error handling
