Key Technologies

• Swift 5
• Handling Diverse JSON Responses (merging JSON): The TMDb API provides different JSON structures for TV shows and movies. Merging these varied responses has enabled the creation of generic view controllers, which can display details for both movies and TV shows.
• Keychain: Securely store sensitive user data using iOS Keychain services.
• Nested CollectionView in TableView: Create nesting CollectionViews within TableViews for dynamic user interfaces
• Generic Detail View Controller: Developed a versatile detail view controller capable of handling and presenting data regardless of whether it's sourced from a movie or a TV show,(which is different JsonResponse) showcasing efficient use of generics in Swift.
• MVC (Model-View-Controller): This project is built using the MVC architectural pattern:
• Networking: Master the art of network requests using URLSession and dataTask, handling GET, POST, and DELETE requests
• Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage common networking challenges.

Features

• Movie Search: Users can search for movies/series using the TMDb API and view detailed information about each
• Watch List: Add movies to your watch list to track what you want to watch later.
• Combination Favorites: Combination of Favorite Movies and series in one list.
• Code Refactoring: Improve code quality and maintainability through refactoring and generics.
