3.1 Architecture

PhotoZnapp written with Clean Swift architecture ( https://clean-swift.com/ ) instead of Apple’s MVC.

3.2 Network

PhotoZnapp’s network layer built with Moya and Alamofire. PhotoZnapp uses Decodable protocol to decoding API responses into struct models in order to consume API.

3.3 Cache

PhotoZnapp uses NSCache for caching images to improve user experience and reducing Wi-Fi/mobile data usage.

3.4 UI

PhotoZnapp layout similar with Pinterest iOS application. Uses almost same scaling and navigation animation without any 3rd party library.

PhotoZnapp also uses Lottie framework for loading animation. Lottie is an iOS, Android, and React Native library that renders After Effects animations in real time, allowing apps to use animations as easily as they use static images. Lottie is an Airbnb product. Available for free via CocoaPods.
