However, since Alamofire wraps the underlying networking frameworks there’s a need to return the errors returned from them as well, which are now returned as Error. In order to let these errors be returned alongside Alamofire’s errors we’d either have to get rid of the generic error and just use Error or wrap all errors in our error type. So far the least painful method seems to be just getting rid of the generic error and returning Error for everything. That way users will use the same logic they would have had to use anyway and can also provide their own error wrapper if they want. Thankfully (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), the new pattern is to cast out the various error types, so the previous concern about having to do that is no longer an issue.</div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div>Is there something wrong with just returning a Swift.Error and using casting to catch specific errors?<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0px;
