Sometimes it is easier for the server to read file from form-data. For instance, the flask framework can read file uploaded in the format of form-data easily by request.files. Alamofire provides an easy way to do this

AF.upload(multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
                multipartFormData.append(FilePath, withName: FilePath.lastPathComponent)
            }, to: url).responseJSON { response in
                    debugPrint(response)
            }

In this way, the file will be uploaded in the format of form-data.
