_A simple and convenient `net/http` wrapper with an [Echo](https://github.com/labstack/echo)-like interface._

---

**httpx** wraps `http.Request` into `httpx.Request` and

defines a `httpx.Responder` that implements `http.ResponseWriter`

to provide handy functions to send variety of HTTP responses.

The library also provides an idiomatic way to handle errors inside

HTTP handlers by defining a `httpx.HandlerFunc` (which implements `http.Handler`)

that has a better signature than `http.HandlerFunc`.

Additionally, `httpx.HandlerFunc` is essentially a drop-in replacement for `http.HandlerFunc`.

Most of the methods of `httpx.Request` and `httpx.Responder` are extracted from

[Echo](https://github.com/labstack/echo)'s [`Context`](https://github.com/labstack/echo/blob/c0c00e6241/context.go).

> This is *not* a web framework, but rather an unopinionated library that

> extends `net/http`, as it does not include a HTTP router nor any mechanism

> that handles middlewares and the database layer.

>

> In fact, you can leverage your favourite router e.g. `gorilla/mux` or `chi` to

> provide routing and middleware ability, and **httpx** works _well_ with them.

In short, consider this library a _lite_ version of Echo, but compatible with `net/http`,

without any third party dependencies.

## Why?

I want to use my favourite router along with some convenient methods

from Echo's `Context` at the same time, but without other bloat and dependencies.

## Roadmap

- [x] Request Data Binding

- [ ] File Responder Methods

- [ ] Real IP Extractor

- [ ] Graceful Shutdown

- [ ] Better TLS Support
