Network Programming in .NET

I don’t normally write about objective C, since I’m not experienced in programming in that language, but I thought I’d post this really crucial, yet simple way to make a HTTP request in objective C, and get a string (NSString) back

NSString *dataUrl = @”https://yourAPI.com/something”;

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:dataUrl];

    NSURLSessionDataTask *downloadTask = [[NSURLSession sharedSession]

    dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)

    {

        if (error)

        {

           // report  error.localizedDescription to the user.

            return;

        }

        NSString *content = [[NSString alloc]

            initWithData:data

            encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

       // Now Content contains the returned data.

    }];

    [downloadTask resume];
