What is URLSession?
URLSession is Apple's built-in networking API for making HTTP and HTTPS requests. It supports data tasks for simple requests, download and upload tasks for large transfers, and background sessions that continue after the app is suspended. URLSession integrates with async/await in Swift, allowing network calls to be written as sequential async functions.
