AFNetworking, MKNetworkKit, and ASIHTTPRequest, mknetworkkit

I have been using ASIHTTPRequest as the network library before, but since it stops updating, there may be more problems on iOS7, so I decided to change the network library.

Currently, the most popular network libraries are AFNetworking and MKNetworkKit. After some google operations, the comparison between the three libraries is as follows:

	AFNetworking	MKNetworkKit	ASIHTTPRequest
Update Status	Relatively large number of maintenance and users	Relatively few maintenance personnel and users	Stop update
Supports iOS and OSX	Yes	Yes	Yes
ARC	Yes	Yes	No
Resumable upload	No, you can use AFDownloadRequestOperation	Yes	Yes
Synchronous asynchronous request	Only asynchronous	No	Yes
Image cached locally	No, through SDURLCache or AFCache	No	No
Image cache to memory	Yes	Yes	No
Background download	Yes	Yes	Yes
Download progress	No, you can use AFDownloadRequestOperation	Yes	Yes
Cache offline requests	No, through SDURLCache or AFCache	Yes	No
JSON, XML	Yes	Yes	No

According to the above comparison, although AFNetworking is weaker than MKNetworkKit, it has higher scalability and more maintainers, which is better than MKNetworkKit in the long term.

The above comparison is based on my own testing and data query. If any of the above is incorrect, I hope you can point it out. Thank you!
