Kingfisher is a powerful, pure-Swift library for downloading and caching images from the web. It provides you a chance to use a pure-Swift way to work with remote images in your next app. Asynchronous image downloading and caching. Loading image from either URLSession-based networking or local provided data. Useful image processors and filters provided. Multiple-layer hybrid cache for both memory and disk. Fine control on cache behavior. Customizable expiration date and size limit. Cancelable downloading and auto-reusing previous downloaded content to improve performance. Independent components. Use the downloader, caching system, and image processors separately as you need. Prefetching images and showing them from the cache to boost your app. View extensions for UIImageView, NSImageView, NSButton and UIButton to directly set an image from a URL. Built-in transition animation when setting images. Customizable placeholder and indicator while loading images.
