httpc

=====

- [Documentation][docs-rs]

- [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)

**httpc** is a Rust library crate providing an HTTP client that works

both natively as well as in a bare bones WASM environment as used in

web browsers. That is to say, the client code looks exactly the same and

all that is needed to switch between the two is to compile for a

different target platform (`wasm32-unknown-unknown`).

When compiling natively, the crate relies on [`hyper`][hyper] as the

underlying HTTP client. When targeting WASM it works directly with the

[Fetch API][fetch-api] as exposed through [`web-sys`][web-sys].

The crate does not yet provide functionality for all potential HTTP

client use cases, though that is mostly a matter of implementing it: the

interface should be able to cater to most use cases.

One of the main pain points of making HTTP requests in a certain

application from a WASM environment is arguably testing it properly.

**httpc** comes with a test suite covering supported functionality and

it includes all the necessary setup code to make it run both natively as

well as when targeting WASM.
