In this tutorial, we explore the utility of delegates in helping to build a small API client that will connect to the Oxford Dictionary's REST API for getting dictionary and thesaurus data. The code for this tutorial uses an arbitrary API key, so be sure to obtain your own API key if you plan to make use of the Oxford Dictionary API. For more information about connecting to the different API endpoints, as well as how to read the returned JSON response, please consult the official documentation available at Oxford Dictionary API's website here.
