To cancel a URLSession in Swift, you can call the cancel() method on the URLSessionTask instance that you want to cancel. Here is a basic example:

let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
    // Handle response here
}

// Start the task
task.resume()

// Cancel the task
task.cancel()

In this example, task is an instance of URLSessionTask. By calling task.cancel(), you can cancel the ongoing network request.
