MBRequest - Easier API wrappers in iOS and OSX

A good API wrapper should handle network transport, payload serialization/deserialization, and authentication, abstracting these details away in order to let the developer deal with the business domain of the API. Projects like Faraday, Requests, and others have made creating higher level wrappers much easier.

MBRequest from Mobiata does the same for iOS and OSX:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/top_rated?alt=json?time=this_week"];
NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[urlRequest setValue:@"gzip" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept-Encoding"];
MBJSONRequest *jsonRequest = [[[MBJSONRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[jsonRequest performJSONRequest:urlRequest completionHandler:^(id responseJSON, NSError *error) {
    if (error != nil)
    {
        NSLog(@"Error requesting top-rated videos: %@", error);
    }
    else
    {
        NSArray *videos = [[responseJSON objectForKey:@"feed"] objectForKey:@"entry"];
        for (NSDictionary *videoInfo in videos)
        {
            NSString *title = [[videoInfo objectForKey:@"title"] objectForKey:@"$t"];
            NSString *author = [[[[videoInfo objectForKey:@"author"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"name"] objectForKey:@"$t"];
            NSLog(@"'%@' by %@", title, author);
        }
    }
}];
