EasyHttp
============
[](https://inspecode.rocro.com/jobs/github.com/sony/easyhttpcpp/latest?completed=true)

A cross-platform HTTP client library with a focus on usability and speed.
Under its hood, EasyHttp uses [POCO C++ Libraries](https://github.com/pocoproject/poco) and derives many of its
design inspirations from [okHttp](https://github.com/square/okhttp), a well known HTTP client for Android and Java
applications. Please check out [Wiki](https://github.com/sony/easyhttpcpp/wiki) for details.
Why another HTTP client?
--------------------------
Modern network applications need a powerful HTTP client. While we already have many well known C++ HTTP clients like,
[Poco::Net](https://pocoproject.org/docs/Poco.Net.html),
[Boost.Asio](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/doc/html/boost_asio.html),
[cpprestsdk](https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk) to name a few, they often lack features like a powerful
response cache, HTTP connection pooling, debuggability etc which we all take it for granted for libraries targeted
towards Android or iOS platforms. EasyHttp tries to fill that gap.
Features
----------------
- Powerful and easy to use HTTP client with synchronous and asynchronous apis.
- HTTP connection pooling support to reduce latency.
- HTTP response caching to optimize repeat requests.
- Hackable HTTP request/response with a concept of [okHttp](https://github.com/square/okhttp) style
[Interceptors](https://github.com/sony/easyhttpcpp/wiki/Recipe:-Interceptors).
- Cross-platform and highly portable to [many platforms](https://github.com/sony/easyhttpcpp/wiki/Supported-platforms).
- Automatic recovery during faulty network connections.
- Secure by default. Obsolete protocols like SSLv2, SSLv3 are disabled by default.
- Comprehensibly tested and is used internally in various Sony projects.
