- Widely used and well-documented in Apple developer documentation
- Supports secure HTTP connections
Cons
- Immutable nature requires creating new objects for modifications
- Can be verbose compared to higher-level abstractions
- Requires careful handling of errors and response data
- Limited functionality without complementary classes like NSURLSession
