I am developing an app using Swift. I want to call a REST API. I found there are two popular libraries, AFNetworking and Alamofire. But I don't know which is better (is more popular or has more features).

Can anybody suggest what are the main differences between Alamofire and AFNetworking?

AFNetworking and Alamofire are by the same people (the Alamofire Software Foundation), Alamofire is their Swift version whereas AFNetworking is the Objective-C version.

Feature wise they are the same.
