URLSession networking with async/await

Modern Swift networking uses async/await for cleaner asynchronous code compared to completion handlers. URLSession's async methods like data(from:) make network calls straightforward. I wrap API calls in a service layer with typed responses using Codable. Error handling uses try/catch blocks instead of nested closures. For request configuration, I create URLRequest objects with custom headers, HTTP methods, and body data. Response validation checks status codes before decoding. Async/await integrates seamlessly with SwiftUI—mark view methods with async and call with Task. This modern approach eliminates callback hell and makes async code read linearly like synchronous code.
