AFNetworking是一个轻量级的iOS网络通信类库，继ASI类库不在更新之后开发者们有一套不错选择；

AFNetworking类库源码下载和使用教程: https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking

如果想深入研究有官方文档介绍:http://afnetworking.github.com/AFNetworking/

在开源中国iOS客户端中关于AFNetworking类库的使用只用到了两个实例方法

(1)getPath:parameters:success:failure:

(2)postPath:parameters:success:failure:

他们用法基本相同，只是请求数据方式不同，一种是Get请求和Post请求。Get是向服务器发索取数据的一种请求，也就相当于查询信息功能，不会修改类容，Post是向服务器提交数据的一种请求，影响数据内容；两种方法定义：

- (void)getPath:(NSString *)path       parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters          success:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject))success         failure:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error))failure { 	NSURLRequest *request = [self requestWithMethod:@"GET" path:path parameters:parameters];     AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [self HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:success failure:failure];     [self enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation]; }

- (void)postPath:(NSString *)path        parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters           success:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject))success          failure:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error))failure { 	NSURLRequest *request = [self requestWithMethod:@"POST" path:path parameters:parameters]; 	AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [self HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:success failure:failure];     [self enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation]; }

getPath:parameters:success:failure:方法在程序中使用举例:

NewsView.m

- (void)reload:(BOOL)noRefresh {     //如果有网络连接     if ([Config Instance].isNetworkRunning) {         if (isLoading || isLoadOver) {             return;         }         if (!noRefresh) {             allCount = 0;         }         int pageIndex = allCount/20;         NSString *url;          switch (self.catalog) {             case 1:                 url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?catalog=%d&pageIndex=%d&pageSize=%d", api_news_list, 1, pageIndex, 20];                 break;             case 2:                 url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?type=latest&pageIndex=%d&pageSize=%d", api_blog_list, pageIndex, 20];                 break;             case 3:                 url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?type=recommend&pageIndex=%d&pageSize=%d", api_blog_list, pageIndex, 20];                 break;         }          [[AFOSCClient sharedClient]getPath:url parameters:Nil                         success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {                             [Tool getOSCNotice2:operation.responseString];             isLoading = NO;             if (!noRefresh) {                 [self clear];             }              @try {                 NSMutableArray *newNews = self.catalog <= 1 ?                                  [Tool readStrNewsArray:operation.responseString andOld: news]:                 [Tool readStrUserBlogsArray:operation.responseString andOld: news];                 int count = [Tool isListOver2:operation.responseString];                 allCount += count;                 if (count < 20)                 {                     isLoadOver = YES;                 }                 [news addObjectsFromArray:newNews];                 [self.tableNews reloadData];                 [self doneLoadingTableViewData];                                  //如果是第一页 则缓存下来                 if (news.count <= 20) {                     [Tool saveCache:5 andID:self.catalog andString:operation.responseString];                 }             }             @catch (NSException *exception) {                 [NdUncaughtExceptionHandler TakeException:exception];             }             @finally {                 [self doneLoadingTableViewData];             }         } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {             NSLog(@"新闻列表获取出错");             //如果是刷新             [self doneLoadingTableViewData];                          if ([Config Instance].isNetworkRunning == NO) {                 return;             }             isLoading = NO;             if ([Config Instance].isNetworkRunning) {                 [Tool ToastNotification:@"错误 网络无连接" andView:self.view andLoading:NO andIsBottom:NO];             }         }];         isLoading = YES;         [self.tableNews reloadData];     }     //如果没有网络连接     else     {         NSString *value = [Tool getCache:5 andID:self.catalog];         if (value) {             NSMutableArray *newNews = [Tool readStrNewsArray:value andOld:news];             [self.tableNews reloadData];             isLoadOver = YES;             [news addObjectsFromArray:newNews];             [self.tableNews reloadData];             [self doneLoadingTableViewData];         }     } } 

分析一下这里面的代码：

首先是做一个网络连接判断，在开源中国iOS客户端学习——(六)网络连接检测一文中介绍了，作者并不是用这种方法来判断，而是使用getPath:parameters:success:failure:来判断网络的连接，方法使用AFHTTPRequestOperation和“PATCH”请求HTTP客户端操作队列，使用到了block块(iOS 4.0+特性)，URL请求成功执行success块里操作，这里面block块没有返回值，接受两个参数，创建请求操作和响应数据请求，URL请求失败执行failure里面的方法，这个block块里仍没有返回值，接受两个参数创建请求操作和NSError对象，描述网络或解析错误状况；

在 if()中的方法[Config Instance].isNetworkRunning==YES的,如果程序加载或者已经加载完毕什么也不返回，如果程序没有加载数据，将数据列表数量显示为0，接下来是在switch()中，根据使用者选择设置不同API接口(下图)，然后就是解析显示数据信息，显示在视图中；

在AFNetwork 文件夹中，作者自己添加了一个AFOSCClient类，该类继承AFHTTPClient，又设计了一个sharedClient的类方法，从返回的结果可以推测出它是通过API请求返回json类型的数据，具体什么作用还没看出来；

[Tool getOSCNotice2:operation.responseString];是封装在在Tool类中的解析获取的XML的文件

URL请求成功，还做了一个程序异常处理，防止请求数据过成功程序异常崩溃

 关于@try @catch @finally异常处理的使用：

如果URL请求的数据出错，则反应网络不连通，数据不能加载，则弹出GCDiscreetNotificationView提示视图  提示网络错误；

postPath:parameters:success:failure:方法在程序中使用举例:
